Résumé L'une des composantes de l'internationalisme socialiste allemand à son apogée, le cosmopolitisme juif, s'alimente à la figure du juif errant. Par ailleurs, la Haskalah (Lumières juives) et la science du judaïsme se diffractent différemment au XIX e siècle dans les deux foyers du judaïsme, l'Europe centrale dont la lingua franca est l'allemand et la yiddishkeit de l'empire des tsars : confessionnalisation occidentale et nationalisation orientale. La culture ( Bildung ) urbaine est investie par les juifs cosmopolites servant de repoussoir aux nationalistes et antisémites allemands se réclamant du terroir. Sous la République de Weimar, la quête d'une identité post-nationale qu'incarne le socialisme se double de la redécouverte d'une identité juive. Puis c'est à la préservation de la culture allemande que se consacrent les exilés juifs aux États-Unis chassés par le nazisme, en tentant d'inaugurer une nouvelle symbiose entre Bildung et Bill of rights.

This text examines Christian ethnographic writing about the Jews in early modern Europe, offering a systematic historical analysis of this literary genre and arguing its importance for better understanding both the period in general and Jewish-Christian relations in particular

In this article we intend undertake a reading of ancient judaism, or veterotestamentary, in some of its main aspects, in contrast to the Machiavellian view of the role of religion in the organization and expansion of the State. The first step of this enterprise will be given by exposing the founding and delineanting features of the ancient Jewish tradition, especially in the books that make up the so-called Old Testament, demonstranting the using of religion in the ordination and expansion of the State, as well as in the formation of the individual. In a second moment we will demonstrate how to create a new Jewish tradition, influenced and influential on the ancient Greek world, early in the Christian era which will be assimilated and explored in its mystical bias in Renaissance humanism. This Hellenistic Judaism tradition will be best known and assimilated in the European erudite circles of the Renaissance. Finally, we will try to demonstrate how the constitutive features of ancient Judaism, to the detriment of Hellenistic Judaism, can be read in the light of Machiavellian description of the role of religion in the organization and expansion of the State and the formation of the individual.

Jewish legal and political thought developed in conditions of exile, where Jews had neither a state of their own nor citizenship in any other. What use, then, can this body of thought be today to Jews living in Israel or as emancipated citizens in secular democratic states? Can a culture of exile be adapted to help Jews find ways of being at home politically today? These questions are central in Law, Politics, and Morality in Judaism, a collection of essays by contemporary political theorists, philosophers, and lawyers. --From publisher's description.
