To Live is to Think
"Constantin Brunner (1862-1937) was a philosopher of considerable originality and importance to whom all too little attention has been paid until quite recently." "This book presents an outline of Brunner's life and personality, then proceeds to relate his philosophy to that of Plato, Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Husserl, and Heidegger. There follows an analysis of Brunner's theory of knowledge, the framework of a complete philosophic system which, in many of Brunner's ideas, shows a similarity to that of his contemporary F. H. Bradley, often regarded as one of the greatest English philosophers." "The themes in Brunner's work that Dr. Goetz pursues include: the synthesis of feeling, knowing, and willing; the question of objective knowledge; the relationship between life and thought; the proper understanding of "egoism"; and the ultimate goal of philosophy. Devotees of Husserl and existentialists of various types may be surprised to discover just how far Brunner anticipated the major thinkers in the field of phenomenology."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Constantin Brunner
Die Gerichtsreporterin und Journalistin Gabriele Tergit (1894–1982) machte sich einen literarischen Namen mit ihrem 1931 veröffentlichten Roman "Käsebier erobert den Kurfürstendamm". Bis 1933 veröffentlichte die Tochter des Gründers der Deutschen Kabelwerke, Siegfried Hirschmann, vorwiegend Berichte, Feuilletons und Reportagen in verschiedenen deutschsprachigen Zeitungen (Berliner Tageblatt, Vossische Zeitung, Berliner Börsen-Curier, Prager Tagblatt). Im März 1933 entging Gabriele Tergit knapp einem SA-Überfall in ihrer Wohnung. Wenig später verließ sie mit ihrem Mann, Heinz Reifenberg, Deutschland. Über die Tschechoslowakei und Palästina gelangte sie 1938 nach Großbritannien und ließ sich in London nieder, wo sie bis kurz vor ihrem Tode als Sekretärin des Deutschen P.E.N.-Zentrums deutschsprachiger Autorinnen und Autoren im Ausland tätig war.

Prophet of Community
Gustav Landauer--literary critic, mystical philosopher, and left-wing activists--was Germany's major anarchist thinker at the beginning of the twentieth century. In this full-scale intellectual biography, Lunn depicts the evolution of Landauer's social thought, a rich terrain within which to examine afresh some intellectual crosscurrents of the Wilhelmian era. Landauer's work in the various circles and movements of his social milieu after 1900, including anarchist, youth movement, expressionist, and Zionist groups, reveal a convergence of volkisch and communitarian ideas with libertarian forms of socialist democracy. The study of this kind of "romantic socialism," in revolt against both indu...
The Jews in Weimar Germany
The first comprehensive history of the German Jews on the eve of Hitler's seizure of power, this book examines both their internal debates and their relations with larger German society. It shows that, far from being united, German Jewry was deeply divided along religious, political, and ideological fault lines. Above all, the liberal majority of patriotic and assimilationist Jews was forced to sharpen its self-definition by the onslaught of Zionist zealots who denied the "Germanness" of the Jews. This struggle for the heart and soul of German Jewry was fought at every level, affecting families, synagogues, and community institutions. Although the Jewish role in Germany's economy and culture...
Constantin Brunner im Kontext
Das Werk des eigenwilligen Philosophen und Gesellschaftskritikers Constantin Brunner (1862–1937) hat in den letzten Jahren eine vermehrte Aufmerksamkeit vor allem in der Kulturgeschichte gefunden. Die in diesem Band versammelten interdisziplinären Beiträge analysieren Brunners oft provokante Thesen und ihre vielfältigen Wirkungen in zeitgenössischen philosophischen und kulturgeschichtlichen Kontexten des Kaiserreichs, der Weimarer Republik und des Exils. Brunners Literatur-, Wissenschafts- und Religionskritik gehört zu den vieldiskutierten Stimmen seiner Zeit. In den Beiträgen des Bandes werden seine Analyse des Antisemitismus und Nationalismus sowie seine scharfe Kritik am Zionismus ebenso untersucht wie sein Einfluss auf Persönlichkeiten wie Gustav Landauer, Martin Buber, Lou Andreas-Salomé und Walther Rathenau. Aufgeschlüsselt werden Brunners biographische Kontexte und der große Kreis von Freunden und Verehrern, die Brunner als eine intellektuelle Leitfigur geschätzt haben.
Martin Buber's Life and Work
Martin Buber's Life and Work is a complete reprint of Maurice Friedman's monumental three-volume biography. Friedman covers Buber's life from his work on I and Thou to the challenges of Nazi Germany and prewar Palestine. He charts Buber's activities on behalf of Jewish-Arab rapprochement, his dialogue with Dag Hammarskjold, and comments on the philosopher's last years, his death, and his legacy to world Jewry.
Passing Illusions
Challenges the notion that Weimar Jews sought to be invisible or indistinguishable from other Germans by "passing" as non-Jews
Brothers and Strangers
Brothers and Strangers traces the history of German Jewish attitudes, policies, and stereotypical images toward Eastern European Jews, demonstrating the ways in which the historic rupture between Eastern and Western Jewry developed as a function of modernism and its imperatives. By the 1880s, most German Jews had inherited and used such negative images to symbolize rejection of their own ghetto past and to emphasize the contrast between modern “enlightened” Jewry and its “half-Asian” counterpart. Moreover, stereotypes of the ghetto and the Eastern Jew figured prominently in the growth and disposition of German anti-Semitism. Not everyone shared these negative preconceptions, however, and over the years a competing post-liberal image emerged of the Ostjude as cultural hero. Brothers and Strangers examines the genesis, development, and consequences of these changing forces in their often complex cultural, political, and intellectual contexts.
Anti-Semitism and Its Metaphysical Origins
This book articulates a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of Jew hatred as a metaphysical aspect of the human soul. Proceeding from the Jewish thinking that the anti-Semites oppose, David Patterson argues that anti-Semitism arises from the most ancient of temptations, the temptation to be as God, and thus to flee from an absolute accountability to and for the other human being.
