It was dedicated to the Doge of Venice and his counsellors, who are labelled "lovers of Truth." The author of the book was a certain Simone (Simḥa) Luzzatto, a native of Venice, where he lived and died, serving as rabbi for over fifty years during the course of the seventeenth century.Luzzatto's political thesis is simple and, at the same time, temerarious, if not revolutionary: Venice can put an end to its political decline, he argues, by offering the Jews a monopoly on overseas commercial activity. This plan is highly recommendable because the Jews are "wellsuited for trade," much more so than others (such as "foreigners," for example). The rabbi opens his argument by recalling that trade and usury are the only occupations permitted to Jews. Within the confines of their historical situation, the Venetian Jews became particularly skilled at trade with partners from the Eastern Mediterranean countries. Luzzatto's argument is that this talent could be put at the service of the Venetian government in order to maintain - or, more accurately, recover - its political importance as an intermediary between East and West. He was the first to define the role of the Jews on the basis of their economic and social functions, disregarding the classic categorisation of Judaism's alleged privileged religious status in world history.Nonetheless, going beyond the socio-economic arguments of the book, it is essential to point out Luzzatto's resort to sceptical strategies in order to plead in defence of the Venetian Jews. It is precisely his philosophical and political scepticism that makes Luzzatto's texts so unique.This edition aims to grant access to his works and thought to English-speaking readers and scholars. By approaching his texts from this point of view, the editors hope to open a new path in research into Jewish culture and philosophy that will enable other scholars to develop new directions and new perspectives, stressing the interpenetration between Jews and the surrounding Christian and secular cultures.Studies and texts in scepticism ;volume 7.Jewish philosophyItalyVeniceHistory17th centuryJudaismItalyVeniceHistory17th centuryJewish HistoryJüdische PhilosophiePhilosophiePhilosophyScepticismSkeptizismusVenedigVeniceHISTORY / JewishbisacshJewish philosophyHistoryJudaismHistoryJewish History.Jüdische Philosophie.Philosophie.Philosophy.Scepticism.Skeptizismus.Venedig.Venice.HISTORY / Jewish.945.31004924Luzzatto Simone, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut617139Lissa Anna, edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtVeltri Giuseppe, edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDeutsche Forschungsgemeinschaftfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996309114603316Discourse on the State of the Jews2198266UNISA02573nam0 22004453i 450 VAN025363820230522112101.833N978303487295920230123d1990 |0itac50 baengCH|||| |||||Quaternionic Analysis and Elliptic Boundary Value ProblemsKlaus Gürlebeck, Wolfgang SprößigBaselBirkhäuserSpringer1990254 p.24 cm001VAN00359182001 International series of numerical mathematics210 Basel [etc.]Birkhäuser89VAN0253639Quaternionic Analysis and Elliptic Boundary Value Problems300412035Q30Navier-Stokes equations [MSC 2020]VANC019723MF35-XXPartial differential equations [MSC 2020]VANC019763MF65MxxNumerical methods for partial differential equations, initial value and time-dependent initial-boundary value problems [MSC 2020]VANC020831MF65NxxNumerical methods for partial differential equations, boundary value problems [MSC 2020]VANC020832MF30G35Functions of hypercomplex variables and generalized variables [MSC 2020]VANC021618MF35QxxPartial differential equations of mathematical physics and other areas of application [MSC 2020]VANC022881MF35J05Laplace operator, Helmholtz equation (reduced wave equation), Poisson equation [MSC 2020]VANC025548MF65N35Spectral, collocation and related methods for boundary value problems involving PDEs [MSC 2020]VANC031195MFBoundary Value ProblemsKW:KBaselVANL002076GürlebeckKlausVANV088524530362SprößigWolfgangVANV080422721687Birkhäuser <editore>VANV108193650Springer <editore>VANV108073650Sprössig, WolfgangSprößig, WolfgangVANV080423ITSOL20240614RICAhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-0348-7295-9E-book – Accesso al full-text attraverso riconoscimento IP di Ateneo, proxy e/o ShibbolethBIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA E FISICAIT-CE0120VAN08NVAN0253638BIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA E FISICA08CONS e-book 5090 08eMF5090 20230124 Quaternionic Analysis and Elliptic Boundary Value Problems3004120UNICAMPANIA
