Produktinformationen zu „Jewish Memory And the Cosmopolitan Order (PDF)“
Natan Sznaider offers a highly original account of Jewish memory
and politics before and after the Holocaust. It seeks to recover an
aspect of Jewish identity that has been almost completely lost
today - namely, that throughout much of their history Jews were
both a nation and cosmopolitan, they lived in a constant tension
between particularism and universalism. And it is precisely this
tension, which Sznaider seeks to capture in his innovative
conception of 'rooted cosmopolitanism', that is increasingly
the destiny of all peoples today.
The book pays special attention to Jewish intellectuals who
played an important role in advancing universal ideas out of their
particular identities. The central figure in this respect is Hannah
Arendt and her concern to build a better world out of the ashes of
the Jewish catastrophe. The book demonstrates how particular Jewish
affairs are connected to current concerns about cosmopolitan
politics like human rights, genocide, international law and
politics. Jewish identity and universalist human rights were born
together, developed together and are still fundamentally
connected.
This book will appeal both to readers interested in Jewish
history and memory and to anyone concerned with current debates
about citizenship and cosmopolitanism in the modern world.
