Publisher's Synopsis
Jewish Influence in Modern Thought is a comprehensive analysis of the impact of Jewish ideas and thinkers on modern philosophical, political, and cultural thought. Written by A.A. Roback, a noted scholar of Jewish philosophy and culture, the book explores the contributions of Jewish thinkers such as Spinoza, Marx, Freud, and Einstein to the development of modern thought. The book is divided into three parts: the first examines the role of Jewish thought in the Enlightenment and the emergence of modernity; the second discusses the influence of Jewish thinkers on the development of Marxist and socialist thought; and the third explores the impact of Jewish ideas on modern psychology, literature, and art. Throughout the book, Roback argues that Jewish thought has played a significant role in shaping modern intellectual and cultural discourse. He contends that Jewish thinkers have contributed to the development of critical and rational modes of thought, and have challenged traditional religious and philosophical assumptions. Jewish Influence in Modern Thought is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of ideas and the role of Jewish thought in modern culture. It offers a nuanced and insightful analysis of the impact of Jewish thinkers on modern intellectual and cultural life, and highlights the ongoing relevance of Jewish ideas and values in contemporary debates.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
