  • Enlightenment, Haskalah, and the State of Israel

    Fania Oz-SalzbergerARTICLEThe European Legacy2020References: 11

    This article charts the broad and transforming effects of the European Enlightenment and the Jewish Haskalah on Zionism and on modern Israel’s government, judiciary, and political discourse. It traces this complex legacy using a semantic distinction between two Modern Hebrew terms for the Enlightenment, haskalah and ne’orut, that illustrates their importance in the political and discursive legacies of the State of Israel. The article then explore…

  • Jews and Words

    Amos Oz, Fania Oz-Salzberger et al.BOOKJews and Words2017

    Why are words so important to so many Jews? Novelist Amos Oz and historian Fania Oz-Salzberger roam the gamut of Jewish history to explain the integral relationship of Jews and words. Through a blend of storytelling and scholarship, conversation and argument, father and daughter tell the tales behind Judaism’s most enduring names, adages, disputes, texts, and quips. These words, they argue, compose the chain connecting Abraham with the Jews of ev…

  • The Enlightenment in Translation: Regional and European Aspects1

    Fania Oz-SalzbergerARTICLEEuropean Review of History Revue…2006Cited by: 11References: 6

    During the eighteenth century modern European languages obtained a new wealth of literary, scientific and philosophical idiom through translation. Translations from Latin into French, Italian, Spanish, English and German, and to a lesser degree between these languages, multiplied steadily. This marked rise in inter-lingual renderings, within the general growth of the book market, paralleled a growing awareness of the complexities of translation, …

  • The Secret German Sources of the Israeli Supreme Court

    Fania Oz-Salzberger, Eli SalzbergerARTICLEIsrael Studies1998Cited by: 4References: 1

    THERE ARE SEVERAL GOOD REASONS for the recent mounting interest in the history of Israel's legal and judicial system. Israel is going through an era of enhanced legalization, which is apparent in stronger emphases on constitutional norms and discourse, in the increasing strength of legal institutions, and in a greater public sense of the powers of litigation. Gone is the traditional contempt for resorting to the court that characterized the rulin…

  • An Essay on the History of Civil Society: An Essay on the History of Civil Society

    Adam Ferguson, Fania Oz-SalzbergerBOOKFerguson1996

    Adam Ferguson's Essay on the History of Civil Society (first published in 1767) is a classic of the Scottish - and European - Enlightenment. Drawing on such diverse sources as classical authors and contemporary travel literature, Ferguson offers a complex model of historical advance which challenges both Hume's and Smith's embrace of modernity and the primitivism of Rousseau. Ferguson combines a subtle analysis of the emergence of modern commerci…

  • Translating the Enlightenment: Scottish civic discourse in eighteenth-century Germany

    Fania Oz-SalzbergerBOOKTranslating the Enlightenment1995

    This is a study of the transmission of political ideas across languages and cultures. It focuses on a notably fruitful encounter between two eighteenth-century political cultures: the reception of Scottish civic ideas, voiced most powerfully in the works of the Edinburgh historian-philosopher Adam Ferguson, by German thinkers in the era of Enlightenment, and early Romanticism. Fania Oz-Salzberger's detailed and challenging analysis places Ferguso…
