| German commentary | Am Leitfaden der Spinoza-Deutungen in den Beiträgen zu den Spinoza-Jubiläen von 1927 und 1932 in jüdischen Zeitschriften rekonstruiert Wertheim die verschiedenen jüdischen Selbstverständnisse im Deutschland der Weimarer Republik als verschiedene Ausdrücke von und Reaktionen auf die zwischen Liberalismus und Anti-Liberalismus changierenden Tendenzen in der Weimarer Republik: Integrationstische, zionistische, messianische Identifikationen mit Spinoza, teilweise bei denselben Autoren, stehen nebeneinander; dazu einige wenige orthodoxe und intellektuelle Distanzierungen von Spinoza. |
| English commentary | Guided by the Spinoza interpretations in the contributions to the two Spinoza Memorial years 1927 and 1932 in the Jewish press, the author reconstructs the diverse and divergent Jewish self-understandings in Weimar Germany as different, even divergent expressions of and reactions to the coincidence of liberal and anti-liberal tendencies in the Weimar Republic: Integratonist, zionist, messianic identifications with Spinoza, partially by the same author, are accompanied by rare rejections of a Jewish Spinoza by orthodox and some intellectual authors. |
