Disengaging the Haskalah from the questions of modernization or emancipation that have hitherto dominated the scholarship, the book puts the Haskalah under a microscope in order to restore detail and texture to the individuals, ideas, and activities that were its makers in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In particular, it replaces simple dichotomies with nuanced distinctions, presenting the relationship between 'tradition' and Haskalah as a spectrum of closely linked cultural options rather than a fateful choice between old and new or good and evil.Liverpool scholarship online.HaskalahCongressesJewsEuropeIntellectual life18th centuryCongressesJewsEuropeIntellectual life19th centuryCongressesHaskalahJewsIntellectual lifeJewsIntellectual life909.04924Feiner ShmuelSorkin David JanStDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910467002403321New perspectives on the Haskalah2265223UNINA
