Nietzsche and Zion
Angebote / Angebote:
The early Zionists were deeply concerned with the authenticity of the modern Jew qua person and with the content and direction of the reawakening Hebrew culture. Nietzsche too was propagating his highest ideal of a personal authenticity Yet the affinities in their thought, and the formative impact of Nietzsche on the first leaders and writers of the Zionist movement, have attracted very little attention from intellectual historians. Indeed, the antisemitic uses to which Nietzsche's thought was turned after his death have led most commentators to assume the philosopher's antipathy to Jewish aspirations. Jacob Golomb proposes a Nietzsche whose sympathies overturn such pre conceptions and details for the first time how Nietzsche's philosophy inspired Zionist leaders, ideologues, and writers to create a modern Hebrew culture Golomb cites Ahad Halam, Micha Josef Berdichevski, Martin Buber, Theodor Herzl, Max Nordau, and Hillel Zenlin as examples of Zionists who "dared to look into Nietzsche's abyss." This book tells us what they found.
