Leo Strauss and the Politics of Exile
Born in rural Hesse, Germany, Leo Strauss (1899-1973) became an active Zionist and philosopher during the tumultuous and fractious Weimar Republic. As Eugene R. Sheppard demonstrates in this groundbreaking and engaging book, Strauss gravitated towards such thinkers as Franz Rosenzweig, Martin Heidegger, and Carl Schmitt as he sought to identify and overcome fundamental philosophical, political, and theological crises. The rise of Nazism impelled Strauss as a young Jewish migr, first in Europe and then in America, to grapple with--and accommodate his thought to--the pressing challenges of exile. In confronting his own state of exile, Strauss enlisted premodern Jewish thinkers such as Mose...
A Fine Line of Distinction: In Search of Roots
Dave Benson is mystified and driven by deathbed visions and wishes of his dear mother. After her death he embarks upon what his partner Gary describes as ADave=s Odyssey@Ca journey that takes him from the Heartland of America to the South, and back into time. Dave encounters far more than he could have imagined, including the paranormal, extraordinary discoveries about his roots, family secrets, as well as coming to terms with his own identity and orientation. A Fine Line of Distinction: In Search of Roots is a work of historical fiction based, however, on the historical facts of six of the author=s wife=s ancestors who fought for the Confederacy, and two of his own ancestors who fought for the Union. In the novel and in history seven of the eight men converged at the Battle of Sharpsburg/Antietam in September 1862; five would survive, one would never admit it.
Jews and Diaspora Nationalism
An anthology of Jewish diaspora nationalist thought across the ideological spectrum
Jewish Philosophical Politics in Germany, 1789-1848
In this book Rose illuminates the extraordinary creativity of Jewish intellectuals as they reevaluated Judaism with the tools of a German philosophical tradition fast emerging as central to modern intellectual life. While previous work emphasizes the "subversive" dimensions of German-Jewish thought or the "inner antisemitism" of the German philosophical tradition, Rose shows convincingly the tremendous resources German philosophy offered contemporary Jews for thinking about the place of Jews in the wider polity. Offering a fundamental reevaluation of seminal figures and key texts, Rose emphasizes the productive encounter between Jewish intellectuals and German philosophy. He brings to light both the complexity and the ambivalence of reflecting on Jewish identity and politics from within a German tradition that invested tremendous faith in the political efficacy of philosophical thought itself.
The Individual in History
Jehuda Reinharz, born in Haifa in 1944, spent his childhood in Israel and his adolescence in Germany, and moved with his family to the United States when he was seventeen. These three diverse geographies and the experiences they engendered shaped his formative years and the future of a prolific scholar who devoted his life to the study of the central role of leadership as Jews faced the challenges of emancipation and integration in Germany, the rise of modern antisemitism, the formation of Zionist youth culture and politics, and the transformation of Jewish politics in Palestine and the State of Israel. In this volume, eminent scholars in their respective fields extend the lines of Reinharz'...

Sheppard-Marshall and Allied Families, Burrows, Clark, Deakins/Dickens, Gatchell, Graves, Green, Hibbs, Hudson, and Many Others
John Sheppard lived in Maryland probably by the late 1600s. He may have been the son of John Sheppard and grandson of Robert Sheapheard (ca. 1645-1686) of the Barbados. His grandson, John Sheppard (1737-1827), son of John Sheppard (b. ca. 1700) was probably born at Fredericktown, Cecil County, Maryland. He married Mary Ann Hudson, ca. 1773. They had twelve children, 1775-1804, all born in Fredericktown. The family migrated to Belmont County, Ohio, in 1812. Descendants lived in Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Missosuri, Nebraska, Colorado, California and elsewhere.
Thinking in Public
Thinking in Public examines the ambivalence that public political life and the figure of the intellectual provoked in the generation of European Jewish thinkers born around 1900. By comparing Hannah Arendt, Emmanuel Levinas, and Leo Strauss, Wurgaft offers a new perspective on the relationship between philosophers and politics.
