| German commentary | "Why did Cohen become a Spinoza antagonist? This article shows that, when placed in context, Cohen's reinvocation of the ban is understandable. He perceived that the Spinoza enthusiasm of his day was walking into a trap laid by anti-Semites, who, like Spinoza, presented Judaism as an exclusivist political doctrine, bereft of universal moral significance because it was a religion by and for Jews alone, and that Zionism was based on the belief that the Jews are God's elect and have a right to dominate other peoples" (absrtract). |
