The Irony of American History. Reinhold Niebuhr and the American Experience
Trois années après la fin de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, le 2 mars 1948, le magazine hebdomadaire TIME célébrait son vingt-cinquième anniversaire. Sur la page de couverture de l’édition publiée à l’occasion de cet anniversaire se trouvait une photographie de Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971) avec pour légende « L’histoire de l’homme n’est pas celle d’une réussite ». Cette expression faisait allusion aux principes théologiques de Niebuhr, à sa critiqu…
Erich Neumann and the Crisis of Western Ethics
A Psychological Inquiry into Totalitarianism
Jewish Exiles and European Thought in the Shadow of the Third Reich
Hans Baron, Karl Popper, Leo Strauss and Erich Auerbach were among the many German-speaking Jewish intellectuals who fled Continental Europe with the rise of Nazism in the 1930s. Their scholarship, though not normally considered together, is studied here to demonstrate how, despite their different disciplines and distinctive modes of working, they responded polemically in the guise of traditional scholarship to their shared trauma. For each, the …
Exile and Criticism
"Erich Auerbach and His "Figura
Auerbach's goal in writing "Figura" and Mimesis was the rejection of Aryan philology and Nazi barbarism, based on racism, chauvinism and the mythologies of Blood, Volk and Soil, which eliminated the Old Testament from the Christian canon and hence from European culture and civilization. Following the Nazi Revolution of 1933 and the triumph of Aryan philology, Auerbach began writing "Figura," published in 1938, where he provided an apology for the…
The Theological Origins of Jonathan Edwards's Philosophy of Nature
An analysis of the works of Jonathan Edwards (1703–58) on natural philosophy, this article aims to show the affinities between the content and form of his philosophy of nature and some main features of medieval, scholastic and Renaissance thought: theology as the ‘queen of sciences’ (‘regina scientiarum’), science as ‘handmaiden to theology’ (‘philosophia ancilla theologiae’), the emblematic or typological understanding of world phenomena, and be…
Early New England
The history of Puritan New England has continuously attracted many fine scholars. Among them clearly is David A. Weir, whose book is the most detailed and ambitious analysis of the formation of all the surviving covenants in all the New England colonies from 1620 to 1708, or from the Mayflower Compact to the Saybrook Platform, the most important confessional document in New England, which marked a significant step toward Presbyterianism. The auth…
Exile and interpretation
The essay explores how Popper used ‘critical interpretation’ to interpret Plato, Hegel and Marx idiosyncratically as his ‘war effort’ polemic against fascism waged from forced exile in New Zealand during WWII. ‘Critical interpretation’ was a form of scientific ‘critical rationalism’ adapted to textual interpretation. Exile spurred Popper to fight. ‘Critical interpretation’ was his method of fighting. The Open Society and Its Enemies and The Pover…
Seeking Synthesis in Edwards Scholarship
England side and offers a useful look at the socialization of men that could aid in further transatlantic comparisons. The question remains: does the study of masculinity have any explanatory force? Can masculinity be transformative, or is it merely reflective of power determined elsewhere? Anne Lombard deftly recasts the question by treating masculine ideals, not as a cause of historical change, but as a kind of anchor against the effects of cha…
Jonathan Edwards and the Language of Nature
For a long time Jonathan Edwards (1703‐58) was thought of more as a preacher of hellfire and revival than as a theologian, and rather as a Calvinist theologian than a philosopher of importance, and he was dismissed accordingly. Yet Edwards was more than a hellfire preacher, more than a theologian. This New England divine was one of the rare individuals anywhere to recognize and answer the challenges posed to traditional Christian belief by the em…

Thomas Brightman and English Apocalyptic Tradition
In English apocalyptic tradition of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Thomas Brightman held a unique and important place.

The Gospel of Reformation
They [the Puritans] drew in a sea of matter, by applying all things unto their own company, which are any where spoken concerning divine favours and benefits bestowed upon the old commonwealth of Israel: concluding that as Israel was delivered out of Egypt, so they spiritually out of the Egypt of this world's servile thraldom unto sin and superstition; as Israel was to root out the idolatrous nations, and to plant instead of them a people which f…
