Download or read book From Babylon to Jerusalem written by Aharon Nathan and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-20 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These memories and reflections of one of the few survivors from Prime Minister Ben-Gurion's entourage in the early years of Israel, Aharon Nathan, written with him by his friend Andrew Edwards, combine his own extraordinary life-story with other intriguing stories from those years and the final years of the Jewish community in Iraq. Developing from an early age an enduring affection for Jewish, Arab and British cultures alike, Aharon grew up in Iraq, escaped to Israel in 1949 and served in the Army and the Prime Minister's Office there, before coming to the UK in 1960, founding and losing control of a successful PLC, and then focusing on Israel again. The early Chapters bring vividly to life a lost world in which Jewish communities lived happily, for the most part, in the Arab world, and the hazards of escaping from Iraq via Iran to Israel. The Israel chapters pour much light on the new State's tumultuous early years, especially the massive immigrations and emigrations which populated Israel and transformed the Middle East, the early post-holocaust tensions, the German reparations, the Suez War of 1956, the occupation of Gaza in 1956-57, where the author was Civilian Governor at age 25, and (not least) the treatment of the Palestinian Arabs inside and outside Israel. Also included are new and fascinating insights about Israel's early leaders, many of whom Aharon knew, especially Ben-Gurion and Sharet. The final chapters explain how since 1961 Aharon has combined a full life in Britain with continuing involvement in Israel's affairs. Stressing the paramount need to replace enmity with friendship, these chapters set out in a compelling way, and with specific solutions, how Israel can and must forge new relationships with the Palestinian Arabs, inside Israel and outside, if this remarkable country, hugely successful as it has been, is to survive in the longer-term. Coupled with this are telling proposals for much-needed democratic reforms in the UK as well as Israel.

Download or read book Reflections of a Wondering Jew written by Morris Cohen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-20 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much as he considered himself a philosopher, Morris Raphael Cohen was also immersed in the machinery of social life. From his first years of "engagement" as a volunteer teacher in Thomas Davidson's school for working-class people, to his last as professor of philosophy at New York's City College and at the University of Chicago, he constantly sought to understand the underlying assumptions of human behavior. The studies Cohen gathered together for Reflections of a Wondering Jew are an indication of representative achievements of his life. He was deeply involved in the experience of the American Jewish community, and much of his work here consists of an inquiry into and analysis of specifically Jewish affairs. Some of his most valuable contributions to American thought and maturity are those that were never included in standard philosophical efforts. His work and scholarship provide foundations for the field of human problems and the history of ideas. These lectures illuminated the way forward in so many of our crisis years. There is a certain tragedy to the fact that for many decades Morris Raphael Cohen had hoped to organize and put into systematic form his literary reflections on Jewish problems and American liberalism. Towards the end of his life, he faced the realization that many of his intended writings would never reach fruition. Though this volume may not be quite what Cohen intended, it is a product of a mature giant in American intellectual history.

Download or read book Mimesis and Its Romantic Reflections written by Frederick Burwick and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Romantic theories of art and literature, the notion of mimesis&—defined as art&’s reflection of the external world&—became introspective and self-reflexive as poets and artists sought to represent the act of creativity itself. Frederick Burwick seeks to elucidate this Romantic aesthetic, first by offering an understanding of key Romantic mimetic concepts and then by analyzing manifestations of the mimetic process in literary works of the period. Burwick explores the mimetic concepts of &"art for art's sake,&" &"Idem et Alter,&" and &"palingenesis of mind as art&" by drawing on the theories of Philo of Alexandria, Aristotle, Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Schiller, Friederich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling, Thomas De Quincey, and Germaine de Sta&ël. Having established the philosophical bases of these key mimetic concepts, Burwick analyzes manifestations of mimesis in the literature of the period, including ekphrasis in the work of Thomas De Quincey, mirrored images in the poems of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth, and the twice-told tale in the novels of Charles Brockden Brown, E. T. A. Hoffmann, and James Hogg. Although artists of this period have traditionally been dismissed in discussions of mimesis, Burwick demonstrates that mimetic concepts comprised a major component of the Romantic aesthetic.
