Karl Marx: Philosophy and Revolution
Karl Marx: Philosophy and Revolution
"Karl Marx (1818-1883)--philosopher, historian, sociologist, economist, current affairs journalist, and editor--was one of the most influential and revolutionary thinkers of modern history, but he is rarely thought of as a Jewish thinker, and his Jewish background is either overlooked or misrepresented. Here, distinguished scholar Shlomo Avineri argues that Marx's Jewish origins did leave a significant impression on his work. Marx was born in Tri…
Hegel and Nationalism
Hegel was a resident of Jena when the Battle of Jena, a shattering defeat for Prussia, took place. 1 On October 13, 1806, the day on which the French entered the town and deployed for the engagement fought the next day, Hegel wrote to his friend Niethammer

Moses Hess: The Holy History of Mankind and Other Writings
Moses Hess is a major figure in the development of both early communist and Zionist thought. The Holy History of Mankind appeared in 1837, and was the first book-length socialist tract to appear in Germany, representing an unusual synthesis of Judaism and Christianity that showed the considerable influence upon Hess of Spinoza, Herder and Hegel. In due course many of Hess's ideas would find their way into the work of Karl Marx, and into subsequen…

Some Reflections on Reconciliation: An Israeli Perspective
An Israeli perspective may perhaps be helpful when trying to address the challenge of Slovak-Hungarian relations
Nationalism in post-communist societies
Nationalism as a historical phenomenon should be reassessed in light of the re-emergence of nationalism, and national conflicts, in post-communist societies. Democratic values and the mechanisms of the free market are not the only issues central to the political discourse of these societies, and issues of national identity and historical memory sometimes take precedence. Both the legacy of the way in which communist ideology and practice dealt wi…

Democracy and Modernity: International Colloquium on the Centenary of David Ben-Gurion
Democracy and Modernity presents a colloquium of scholars on the present state of democracy in many parts of the globe, in both developed and developing countries. Where does it stand firm, and where is it on shifting ground? What are the conditions necessary for the consolidation of democracy, and what difficulties face those countries where a stable democratic regime is still a hope for the future? How do the political traditions of a country's…
Marxism and Nationalism
One of Hannah Arendt's more surprising observations in Origins of Totalitarianism is her statement that 'modern anti-semitism grew in proportion as traditional nationalism declined'.1 Rather than identify anti-semitism, and racism in general, as the most extreme and pernicious excrescence of nationalism, Arendt chose to see antisemitism as something extraneous to nationalism, a reaction to its failure. Elsewhere in her book she argues that each c…

The social and political thought of Kalr Marx
Socialism and Judaism in Moses Hess's Holy History of Mankind
Moses Hess is customarily described as Karl Marx's erstwhile mentor, later colleague and eventual protagonist in the socialist movement, who in his later years surprised most of his friends in publishing in 1862 a proto-Zionist treatise, Rome and Jerusalem . In this book Hess advocated the establishment of a socialist Jewish commonwealth in Palestine as the only way to the solution of the Jewish problem. As both a colleague of Marx and a precurso…
A Note: Moses Hess on Alexander Herzen’s Vision of Russia’s Future Emancipatory Role in European History
THE DÉBÂCLE OF THE 1848 REVOLUTION WAS A SEVERE SHOCK to most European radicals of that period. The resilience of the anciens regimes proved that, contrary to the revolutionary prophecies, the millennium was not around the corner. If the powers-that-be withstood such a powerful revolutionary wave, how were they ever going to be toppled? The disillusion was strongest among German radical revolutionaries. Many emigrated to the United States; some, …

The making of modern Zionism: The intellectual origins of the Jewish state
Delineates a number of aspects of Zionist thought, as expressed through the writings of selected central nineteenth and twentieth century individuals. Avineri presents a history of Zionist thought through profiles of some of Zionism's major thinkers. Each chapter is devoted to a specific personality and focuses on a particular topic or approach. By examinimg the stories of these men, how their ideas developed, and some of their writings, the read…
The Social and Political Thought of Karl Marx
Ever since the discovery of Marx's Early Writings, most of the literature concerned with Marx's intellectual development has centred around the so-called gap between the 'young' Marx, who was considered to be a humanist thinker, and the 'older' Marx, who was held to be a determinist with little concern for anything outside his narrow theory of historical materialism. Dr Avineri claims that such a gap between the 'young' and 'older' Marx did not e…

Marx and Modernization
Marx had a specific theory about the nature of non-European societies, and this theory determined his views on the conditions and possibilities of industrialization and modernization in non-Western countries. Yet this theory is hardly known, though it is extremely interesting and sometimes contradicts the more sweeping and general claims made on behalf of Marxism as a universal philosophy of history. Marx elaborated his views on the nature of the…
War and Slavery in More's Utopia
The formal structure of Thomas More's Utopia is simple and well known. It consists of two books, the first of which contains, in the form of a dialogue between More and an imaginary traveller, Raphael Hythloday, a sharp criticism of English social conditions, the enclosure movement, the penal code and the existing pattern of international relations. The second, in the form of a lengthy tale related by Hythloday, is a description of the social, ec…

Hegel's Theory of the Modern State
This study in English of Hegel's political philosophy presents an overall view of the development of Hegel's political thinking. The author has drawn on Hegel's philosophical works, his political tracts and his personal correspondence. Professor Avineri shows that although Hegel is primarily thought of as a philosopher of the state, he was much concerned with social problems and his concept of the state must be understood in this context.
