Resisting History: Historicism and Its Discontents in German-Jewish Thought - Jews, Christians, and Muslims from the Ancient to the Modern World
David N. Myers
Nineteenth-century European thought, especially in Germany, was increasingly dominated by a historicist impulse to situate every event, person, or text in its particular context. This title examines the backlash against historicism, focusing on four Jewish thinkers, Hermann Cohen, Franz Rosenzweig, Leo Strauss, and Isaac Breuer.
