Gershom Scholem, was a German-born Israeli philosopher and historian. He is widely regarded as the founder of the modern, academic study of Kabbalah, which is Jewish mysticism. He was the first professor of Jewish Mysticism at Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Scholem immigrated to Israel before World War II started to pursue Jewish studies. He was also very moody and had difficulty with relationships including his closest friends Hannah Arendt and Walter Benjamin. He was a prolific writer, developed religious study programs, and saved Jewish texts from destruction after the war. This book is part of a series published by Yale University Press, and makes me want to read some of Scholmen's books on Kabbalah. ( ) Gershom Scholem was perhaps the foremost Jewish intellectual of the 20th century. He pioneered the study of Jewish mysticism as a legitimate academic discipline and overturned the rationalist bias of his predecessors as he revealed an extraordinary world of myth. He moved to Palestine in 1923 and participated in the creation of the Hebrew University, where he was a towering figure for nearly seventy years aucune critique | ajouter une critique

A new biography of the seminal twentieth-century historian and thinker who pioneered the study of Jewish mysticism and profoundly influenced the Zionist movement Gershom Scholem (1897-1982) was perhaps the foremost Jewish intellectual of the twentieth century. Pioneering the study of Jewish mysticism as a legitimate academic discipline, he overturned the rationalist bias of his predecessors and revealed an extraordinary world of myth and messianism. In his youth, he rebelled against the assimilationist culture of his parents and embraced Zionism as the vehicle for the renewal of Judaism in a secular age. He moved to Palestine in 1923 and participated in the creation of the Hebrew University, where he was a towering figure for nearly seventy years. David Biale traces Scholem's tumultuous life of political activism and cultural criticism, including his falling-out with Hannah Arendt over the Eichmann trial. Mining a rich trove of diaries, letters, and other writings, Biale shows that his subject's inner life illuminates his most important writings. Scholem emerges as a passionately engaged man of his times-a period that encompassed two world wars, the rise of Nazism, and the Holocaust. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
