March 2020Der Golem
Eine Legende
by Isaac Bashevis Singer, Gertrud Baruch
»Majestät, es gibt Geheimnisse, die nicht einmal einem Kaiser enthüllt werden dürfen.« Der Literaturnobelpreisträger Isaac Bashevis Singer hat die Legende vom Golem neu erzählt: Ein Mitglied der jüdischen Gemeinde im alten Prag wird des Ritualmordes bezichtigt, die Richter sind auf Seiten der Denunzianten, ein Pogrom droht. Der weise Rabbi Löw, nicht nur ein Talmudgelehrter, sondern auch ein Freund von Magie und Mystik, hat bei der Mitternachtsfürbitte eine Vision: Er wird einen riesigen Golem aus Lehm formen, der die Juden aus der tödlichen Gefahr retten kann. Gewidmet ist die Meistererzählung »den Verfolgten und Unterdrückten in der Welt, in der Hoffnung wider alle Hoffnung, dass die Zeit der falschen Beschuldigungen eines Tages enden wird«.

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2004Subversive Spinoza
Antonio Negri
by Timothy S. Murphy, Gerard Greenway, Michael Hardt, Edward Stolze, Charles T. Wolfe
In Subversive Spinoza, Antonio Negri spells out the philosophical credo that inspired his radical renewal of Marxism and his compelling analysis of the modern state and the global economy by means of an inspiring reading of the challenging metaphysics of the seventeenth-century Dutch-Jewish philosopher Spinoza. For Negri, Spinoza's philosophy has never been more relevant than it is today to debates over individuality and community, democracy and resistance, and modernity and postmodernity. This collection of essays extends, clarifies and revises the argument of Negri's influential 1981 book 'The Savage Anomaly: The Power of Spinoza's Metaphysics and Politics' and links it directly to his recent work on constituent power, time and empire. ;
