During the Enlightenment intellectual Europe accepted a philosophy which, by the universality of its ideals, reached out to embrace the Jew within the greater community of man. The Jew began to feel European, and his traditional identity became a problem for the first time. the response of the Jewish intellectual leadership in Germany to this crisis is the subject of this book.\u003cbr\u003e Chief among those men who struggled with the problems of Jewish consciousness were Moses Mendelssohn, David Friedlander, Leopold Zunz, Eduard Gans, and Heinrich Heine. By 1824, liberal Judaism had not yet produced a vision of it future as a separate entity within European society, but it had been exposed to and grappled with all the significant problems that still confront the Jew in the West.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Wayne State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Origins of the Modern Jew: Jewish Identity and European Culture in Germany, 1749-1824 | Michael A Meyer | Paperback | 9780814314708 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks G 1747494","offer_id":48842992091288,"sku":"1747494","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61dSnRwSEkL.jpg?v=1775246668","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/origins-of-the-modern-jew-jewish-identity-and-european-culture-in-germany-1749-1824","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
