Paperback. Condition: New. In the wake of World War II and the Holocaust, it seemed there was no place for German in Israel and no trace of Hebrew in Germany - the two languages and their cultures appeared as divergent as the directions of their scripts. Yet when placed side by side on opposing pages, German and Hebrew converge in the middle. Comprised of essays on literature, history, philosophy, and the visual and performing arts, this volume explores the mutual influence of two linguistic cultures long held as separate or even as diametrically opposed. From Moses Mendelssohn's arrival in Berlin in 1748 to the recent wave of Israeli migration to Berlin, the essays gathered here shed new light on the painful yet productive relationship between modern German and Hebrew cultures.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Thinking is much broader than what our science-obsessed, utilitarian culture often takes it to be. More than mere problem solving or the methodical comprehension of our personal and natural circumstances, thinking may take the form of a poem, a painting, a sculpture, a museum exhibition, or a documentary film. Exploring a variety of works by contemporary artists and writers who exemplify poetic thinking, this book draws our attention to one of the crucial affordances of this form of creative human insight and wisdom: its capacity to help protect and cultivate human freedom. All the contemporary works of art and literature that Poetic Thinking Today examines touch on our recent experiences with tyranny in culture and politics. They express the uninhibited thoughts and ideas of their creators even as they foster poetic thinking in us. In an era characterized by the global reemergence of authoritarian tendencies, Amir Eshel writes with the future of the humanities in mind. He urges the acknowledgment and cultivation of poetic thinking as a crucial component of our intellectual pursuits in general and of our educational systems more specifically.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveranderung. >>Deutsche und Juden - ein ungelostes Problem<< hiess eine Diskussion, die im August 1966 im Rahmen des Judischen Weltkongresses in Brussel stattfand. Funf Manner ungefahr einer Generation, Deutsche und Juden, fragten, was beide Nationen verbindet und was sie trennt, berichteten von ihren Erfahrungen, Angsten und Hoffnungen. 21 Jahre nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs und der Shoah, ein Jahr nach der Aufnahme diplomatischer Beziehungen zwischen der Bundesrepublik und Israel kamen Historiker und Politiker zum ersten Mal offentlich zusammen, um sich auszutauschen. Die Konfrontation blieb nicht aus, ungeloste historische Fragen kamen auf, die sich mit politischen Beschwichtigungen nicht aus der Welt schaffen liessen. Diese Debatte dauert bis heute an. Dieser Band enthalt Texte von Nahum Goldmann, Gershom Scholem, Golo Mann, Salo W. Baron, Eugen Gerstenmaier, Karl Jaspers und Peter Szondi. Er beleuchtet das spannungsvolle Verhaltnis zweier Nationen und zeigt, was Deutsche und Juden verbindet, was sie trennt.…
