Über die Verbindung religiöser und rassistischer Diskriminierung. Das Konzept unterschiedlicher menschlicher »Rassen« sowie daraus resultierender Rassismus werden häufig als Erscheinungen der Moderne angesehen, die biologisches Wissen und biopolitisches Denken voraussetzten. Doch die Diskriminierung und Verfolgung von Menschen aufgrund ihrer biologischen Herkunft ist weitaus älter und lässt sich mindestens bis ins Mittelalter zurückverfolgen....

From the time of Pythagoras, we have been tempted to treat numbers as the ultimate or only truth. This book tells the history of that habit of thought. But more, it argues that the logic of counting sacrifices much of what makes us human, and that we have a responsibility to match the objects of our attention to the forms of knowledge that do them justice. Humans have extended the insights and methods of number and mathematics to more and more...

L'antigiudaismo che esamina David Nirenberg in questo libro non è solo l'insieme dei pregiudizi e delle persecuzioni contro gli ebrei: è una delle modalità fondamentali con cui il pensiero occidentale ha definito se stesso e il proprio modo di interpretare il mondo in contrapposizione a una tradizione diversa. Come spiega l'autore, "L'antigiudaismo non va inteso come un anfratto arcaico e irrazionale nel vasto edificio del pensiero occidentale...

Anti-Judaismus gilt als eine irrationale Abweichung vom westlichen Denkweg hin zu Freiheit, Toleranz und Fortschritt. David Nirenberg zeigt demgegenüber in seinem aufsehenerregenden Buch anhand zahlreicher - oft erschreckender - Belege von der Antike bis heute, dass die Distanzierung vom Judentum zum Kern des westlichen Denkens und Weltbilds gehört. Die Alten Ägypter verachteten ihre jüdischen Nachbarn als Fremde, die das Land angeblich im Die...

This incisive history upends the complacency that confines anti-Judaism to the ideological extremes in the Western tradition. With deep learning and elegance, David Nirenberg shows how foundational anti-Judaism is to the history of the West. Questions of how we are Jewish and, more critically, how and why we are not have been churning within the Western imagination throughout its history. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, Christians and ...

David Nirenberg, international renommierter Spezialist für die Beziehungen der jüdischen, christlichen und islamischen Kulturen in der Geschichte, konzentriert sich in diesem Essay auf die Denkfigur des »Jüdischen« als ein durchgängiges politisches Konzept der abendländischen Geschichte. Im Vordergrund steht nicht das Judentum als historische und gelebte Religion, sondern das Attribut »jüdisch« als Figur des christlichen Denkens.Ohne diese ide...

Throughout most of Western European history, Jews have been a numerically tiny or entirely absent minority, but across that history Europeans have nonetheless worried a great deal about Judaism. Why should that be so? This short but powerfully argued book suggests that Christian anxieties about their own transcendent ideals made Judaism an important tool for Christianity, as an apocalyptic religion - characterized by prizing soul over flesh, t...

In the wake of modern genocide, we tend to think of violence against minorities as a sign of intolerance or, even worse, a prelude to extermination. In Communities of Violence, David Nirenberg argues that violence in the Middle Ages functioned differently. Focusing on attacks against minorities in fourteenth-century France and the Crown of Aragon, he argues that these attacks were often perpetrated not by irrational masses laboring under inher...

This book represents the culmination of David Nirenberg s ongoing project, namely, how Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived with and thought about each other in the Middle Ages, and what the medieval past can tell us about how they do so today. There have been scripture based studies of the three religions of the book that claim descent from Abraham, but Nirenberg goes beyond those to pay close attention to how the three religious neighbors lov...
