- Synopsis
- Biemann (modern Jewish thought and intellectual history, U. of Virginia) explores the multiple connotations of "renaissance" in relation to the Jewish Renaissance that suffused much of German- speaking Jewry between 1890 and the rise of Nazism in the late 1930s, partly as a backlash to the earlier assimilationist Jewish Enlightenment. Drawing on the thinking of Franz Rosensweig in the New Learning, Mircea Eliade, Hegel, Buber, and other philosophers on the meaning of time and beginnings, he argues that this movement was less a return to traditional Judaism than a renewal of self-awareness and questioning in the encounter with modernity.
