Language of Conformity and Dissent

Exploring Jewish intellectual life in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this book delves into the dynamic interplay between Jewish scholars and their cultural context, emphasizing themes of conformity and dissent. It highlights Germany's pivotal role as an intellectual hub, structured into four parts: the quest for a scientific language, the political and cultural history of Jews, creative expressions within monotheism, and the perspective of Jewish dissenters. The work is supplemented by a bibliography and detailed indexes for further research.
