Conclusion: Towards a Study of Jewish-Buddhist Relations. 330 $aIn Germany at the turn of the century, Buddhism transformed from an obscure topic, of interest to only a few misfit scholars, into a cultural phenomenon. Many of the foremost authors of the period were profoundly influenced by this rapid rise of Buddhism?among them, some of the best-known names in the German-Jewish canon. Sebastian Musch excavates this neglected dimension of German-Jewish identity, drawing on philosophical treatises, novels, essays, diaries, and letters to trace the history of Jewish-Buddhist encounters up to the start of the Second World War. Franz Rosenzweig, Martin Buber, Leo Baeck, Theodor Lessing, Jakob Wassermann, Walter Hasenclever, and Lion Feuchtwanger are featured alongside other, lesser known figures like Paul Cohen-Portheim and Walter Tausk. As Musch shows, when these thinkers wrote about Buddhism, they were also negotiating their own Jewishness. . 410 0$aPalgrave Series in Asian German Studies 606 $aEurope, Central?History 606 $aJudaism and culture 606 $aWorld history 606 $aIntellectual life?History 606 $aReligions 606 $aHistory of Germany and Central Europe$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717060 606 $aJewish Cultural Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A6020 606 $aWorld History, Global and Transnational History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/719000 606 $aIntellectual Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/729000 606 $aComparative Religion$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A1000 615 0$aEurope, Central?History. 615 0$aJudaism and culture. 615 0$aWorld history. 615 0$aIntellectual life?History. 615 0$aReligions. 615 14$aHistory of Germany and Central Europe. 615 24$aJewish Cultural Studies. 615 24$aWorld History, Global and Transnational History. 615 24$aIntellectual Studies. 615 24$aComparative Religion. 676 $a305.892404309042 700 $aMusch$b Sebastian$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01457378 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910768476903321 996 $aJewish Encounters with Buddhism in German Culture$93657914 997 $aUNINA
