Combines a deep knowledge of theological motifs with theory of history, providing a unique exploration of how such motifs have shaped the Western view of history. Combines a deep knowledge of anti-Jewish theological motifs in the Christian tradition with extensive knowledge of contemporary political philosophy, providing a unique critical analysis of how anti-Jewish theological stereotypes tend to recur - albeit unintentionally - in secular shape in parts of contemporary philosophy. Takes a fresh look at the extensive 20th century debates on history and ideology and provides a contemporary contribution to this kind of debate.

Paperback. Zustand: New. For millennia, messianic visions of redemption have inspired men and women to turn against unjust and oppressive orders. Yet these very same traditions are regularly decried as antecedents to the violent and authoritarian ideologies of modernity. Informed in equal parts by theology and historical theory, this book offers a provocative exploration of this double-edged legacy. Author Jayne Svenungsson rigorously pursues a middle path between utopian arrogance and an enervated postmodernism, assessing the impact of Jewish and Christian theologies of history on subsequent thinkers, and in the process identifying a web of spiritual and intellectual motifs extending from ancient Jewish prophets to contemporary radicals such as Giorgio Agamben and Slavoj Zizek.

Yet these very same traditions are regularly decried as antecedents to the violent and authoritarian ideologies of modernity. Informed in equal parts by theology and historical theory, this book offers a provocative exploration of this double-edged legacy. Author Jayne Svenungsson rigorously pursues a middle path between utopian arrogance and an enervated postmodernism, assessing the impact of Jewish and Christian theologies of history on subsequent thinkers, and in the process identifying a web of spiritual and intellectual motifs extending from ancient Jewish prophets to contemporary radicals such as Giorgio Agamben and Slavoj Zizek. Messianic ideas of impending redemption have inspired and engendered struggles for justice, yet also violent utopian ideologies. This book analyzes the double-edged legacy of Judeo-Christian theologies of history by exploring their impact on subsequent philosophies of history and political ideologies, from Ancient Judaism, through German Romanticism, to contemporary radical thought.
