Eisenstadt's essays written over the years on Jewish history and identity. The major argument of the essays follows the Weberian view of Jewish historical experience as that of a distinct civilization, as a distinct Great Religion, the first monotheistic civilization - without, however, accepting many of Weber's concrete analyses. The core of the argument that underlies these essays is, that the best way to understand the Jewish experience is to look on Jews not just as a religious or ethnic group, nation or "people", although they have been all of these, but as bearers of a distinct civilization. These essays examine the historical experience of the Jewish people and communities in ancient medieval and modern times in the framework of such civilizational analysis in which special attention is given to the analysis of Israeli society and to the continual changing place of Israel in a central component of Jewish identity, in line with the different historical experience and collective agendas of the Jewish communities. 410 0$aJewish Identities in a Changing World ;$v3. 517 3 $aThe Civilizational Dimension 606 $aJews$xCivilization 606 $aJews$xIdentity 606 $aJews$zUnited States 607 $aIsrael$xPolitics and government 607 $aIsrael$xSocial conditions 615 0$aJews$xCivilization. 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 615 0$aJews 676 $a909/.04924 700 $aEisenstadt$b Shmuel N.$0451679 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784869503321 996 $aExplorations in Jewish Historical Experience$93686878 997 $aUNINA
