Neuware - Moses Mendelssohn: Deutscher Sokrates, Vorbild für den »Nathan« und umstrittener Bibelübersetzer.Der jüdische Philosoph und Aufklärer Moses Mendelssohn polarisierte weit über seinen Tod hinaus: Den einen galt er als Wegbereiter einer besseren Zukunft, für die anderen verursachte er den Niedergang des Judentums. Viele orthodoxe Juden fordern noch heute, dass sein Name »ausgelöscht« sei.Martina Steer liefert die erste umfassende Studie über die kollektiven Erinnerungen an Mendelssohn in Deutschland, Polen und den USA von seinem Tod 1786 bis zum Aufstieg des Nationalsozialismus. Anhand der Jubiläumsfeiern zu seinen Ehren kann sie zeigen, dass Mendelssohn zu dem Symbol einer jüdischen Moderne stilisiert wurde. Vom aufgeklärten Berlin Friedrichs II. bis in das dreigeteilte Polen und in die USA verfolgt das Buch den Aufstieg Mendelssohns zu einem der wirkmächtigsten jüdischen Erinnerungsorte. Martina Steer analysiert, wie deutsch-jüdische Reformer, osteuropäische Chassidim, Zionisten und amerikanische Jiddischisten ihre Werte, Hoffnungen und Ängste auf Mendelssohn projizierten und wie diese Erinnerungsnarrative nationale und kulturelle Grenzen überschritten. Neben der faszinierenden Geschichte dieser Obsession erzählt Mendelssohns Nachwelt daher auch von den Verflechtungen der modernen jüdischen Kulturgeschichte.

Is it possible to trace the footprints of the historical Sokrates in Athens? Was there really an individual named Romulus, and if so, when did he found Rome? Is the tomb beneath the high altar of St. Peter’s Basilica home to the apostle Peter? To answer these questions, we need both dirt and words—that is, archaeology and history. Bringing the two fields into conversation, Artifact and Artifice offers an exciting excursion into the relationship between ancient history and archaeology and reveals the possibilities and limitations of using archaeological evidence in writing about the past. Jonathan M. Hall employs a series of well-known cases to investigate how historians may ignore or minimize material evidence that contributes to our knowledge of antiquity unless it correlates with information gleaned from texts. Dismantling the myth that archaeological evidence cannot impart information on its own, he illuminates the methodological and political principles at stake in using such evidence and describes how the disciplines of history and classical archaeology may be enlisted to work together. He also provides a brief sketch of how the discipline of classical archaeology evolved and considers its present and future role in historical approaches to antiquity. Written in clear prose and packed with maps, photos, and drawings, Artifact and Artifice will be an essential book for undergraduates in the humanities.

Der Autor reflektiert in diesem Buch die Tradition des europäischen Humanismus, die von Sokrates herkommend das Ideal eines durchgängig vernunftorientierten Daseins in mehreren Entwicklungsschritten bis heute zu verwirklichen gesucht hat. Als Konsequenz werden verschiedene Perspektiven der zugrundeliegenden Humanitätsidee hinsichtlich ihrer Tragfähigkeit in globalen Zusammenhängen analysiert. Eine «homozentrische» Philosophie des Menschen und der Menschheit erweist sich endlich als das Zentrum dieses kultur- und geschichtsphilosophischen Neuentwurfs.
