Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the liberal Jewish ethics of Ernst Cassirer and Hannah Arendt, highlighting their shared diasporic and pluralist views on Jewish identity. It emphasizes Arendt's connections to earlier Jewish thinkers despite her critique of assimilation, suggesting that her secular approach is rooted in 20th-century political discourse. This analysis invites a reevaluation of the philosophical and ethical contributions of liberal Jewish thought, revealing the complexities of modern Jewish experiences and the significance of historical context in their ideas.
