This study traces Weimar Jewry's infatuation with Spinoza as it was manifested in scholarship, the popular press, and novels. It tells of how Jews, who found themselves oscillating between the social pressures to both assimilate and remain authentic, sought refuge in a thinker who epitomized both the rationality and liberalism of the Weimar Republic?s enlightened defenders as well as the mysticism of its neo-romanticist challengers. In recapturing this forgotten chapter in the history of Spinozism this book sheds an original light on Weimar Germany?s reknown Jewish culture. 410 0$aJewish and Christian perspectives series ;$vv. 21. 606 $aJews$zGermany$xIntellectual life$y20th century 606 $aJews$zGermany$xIdentity$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGermany$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aGermany$xHistory$y1918-1933 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJews$xIntellectual life 615 0$aJews$xIdentity$xHistory 676 $a305.892/404309042 700 $aWertheim$b David J$0896356 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457190403321 996 $aSalvation through Spinoza$92002511 997 $aUNINA
