Redemption and Utopia: Jewish Libertarian Thought in Central Europe by Michael L

Description: Redemption and Utopia by Michael Löwy, Hope Heaney Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Classic study of Jewish libertarian thought, from Walter Benjamin to Franz Kafka. Part of Radical Thinkers set 14. Publisher Description Towards the end of the nineteenth century, there appeared in Central Europe a generation of Jewish intellectuals whose work was to transform modern culture. Drawing at once on the traditions of German Romanticism and Jewish messianism, their thought was organized around the cabalistic idea of the "tikkoun": redemption. Redemption and Utopia uses the concept of "elective affinity" to explain the surprising community of spirit that existed between redemptive messianic religious thought and the wide variety of radical secular utopian beliefs held by this important group of intellectuals. The author outlines the circumstances that produced this unusual combination of religious and non-religious thought and illuminates the common assumptions that united such seemingly disparate figures as Martin Buber, Franz Kafka, Walter Benjamin and Georg Lukács. Author Biography Michael Löwy is Research Director of Sociology at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris. He is the author of numerous books, including George Lukács: From Romanticism to Bolshevism, The Politics of Combined and Uneven Development: The Theory of Permanent Revolution, Marxism in Latin America, The War of the Gods: Religion and Politics in Latin America and Fire Alarm: Reading Walter Benjamins On the Concept of History.
