JWST 108R - (HP) Modern Jewish IntellectualsSemester Hours: 3
Periodically
An examination of major Jewish intellectuals from the period of the
Jewish Enlightenment (ca. late 18th century) to the present. An initial
inquiry as to the definition of the term “intellectual” leads us to the
larger question of the Jewish intellectual and his or her relation to
the Jewish and non-Jewish world. Among the figures to be read are Karl
Marx, Theodor Herzl, Emile Durkheim, Franz Kafka, Georg Simmel, Sigmund
Freud, Anzia Yezierska, Rosa Luxemburg, Simone Weil, George Steiner,
Hannah Arendt, Philip Roth, Amos Oz, Cynthia Ozick, and Saul Bellow.
