Overview

In diesem Sammelband wird die Beziehung zwischen der kulturellen, religiösen und sozialen Situation deutschsprachiger Juden zu deren wissenschaftlicher Tätigkeit untersucht. Die Autoren diskutieren die sensible Frage nach den vermeintlich spezifisch 'jüdischen' Arbeitsweisen jüdischer Forscher und untersuchen die Debatten um das Verhältnis von Judentum und wissenschaftlicher Forschung im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert.
