Download Anti-Judaism : The Western Tradition AudioBook Free
A powerful history that presents anti-Judaism to be always a central way of thinking in the European traditions. This incisive background upends the complacency that confines anti-Judaism to the ideological extremes in the European tradition. With deep learning and elegance, David Nirenberg shows how foundational anti-Judaism is to the annals of the Western. Questions of how we are Jewish and, more critically, how and just why we aren't have been churning within the European creativeness throughout its background. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans; Christians and Muslims of every period; even the secularists of modernity have used Judaism in constructing their visions of the world. The thrust of the traditions construes Judaism as an opposition, a hazard often from within, to be criticized, attacked, and eradicated. The intersections of the ideas with the world of vitality - the Roman destruction of the next Temple, the Spanish Inquisition, the German Holocaust - are popular. The ways of thought root these tragedies are available at the very foundation of European history.
