The Slayers of Moses
Author: Susan A. Handelman
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438405642
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
In this groundbreaking study, Susan Handelman examines the theological roots of the modern science of interpretation. She defines current structures of thought and patterns of organizing reality, clearly distinguishes them from previously reigning Hellenic modes of abstract thought, and connects them with important elements of the Rabbinic interpretive tradition. Hers is the first comprehensive treatment of the undeniable, and undeniably significant, influence of Jewish religious thought on contemporary literary criticism. Dr. Handelman shows how they provide a crucial link among several of the most influential modern theories of textual interpretation, from Freud to the Deconstructionist School of Lacan and Derrida, as well as current literary theorists who revive Rabbinic hermeneutics, such as Harold Bloom and Geoffrey Hartman.

The Marrano Way
Author: Agata Bielik-Robson
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110768275
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
The Marrano phenomenon is a still unexplored element of Western culture: the presence of the borderline Jewish identity which avoids clear-cut cultural and religious attribution and – precisely as such – prefigures the advent of the typically modern "free-oscillating" subjectivity. Yet, the aim of the book is not a historical study of the Marranos (or conversos), who were forced to convert to Christianity, but were suspected of retaining their Judaism "undercover." The book rather applies the "Marrano metaphor" to explore the fruitful area of mixture and cross-over which allowed modern thinkers, writers and artists of the Jewish origin to enter the realm of universal communication – without, at the same time, making them relinquish their Jewishness which they subsequently developed as a "hidden tradition." The book poses and then attempts to prove the "Marrano hypothesis," according to which modern subjectivity derives, to paraphrase Cohen, "out of the sources of the hidden Judaism": modernity begins not with the Cartesian abstract ego, but with the rich self-reflexive self of Michel de Montaigne who wrestled with his own marranismo in a manner that soon became paradigmatic to other Jewish thinkers entering the scene of Western modernity, from Spinoza to Derrida. The essays in the volume offer thus a new view of a "Marrano modernity," which aims to radically transform our approach to the genesis of the modern subject and shed a new light on its secret religious life as surviving the process of secularization, although merely in the form of secret traces.

Rereading Freud
Author: Jon Mills
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 0791485285
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Rereading Freud assembles eminent philosophical scholars and clinical practitioners from continental, pragmatic, feminist, and psychoanalytic paradigms to examine Freud's metapsychology. Fundamentally distorted and misinterpreted by generations of English speaking commentators, Freud's theories are frequently misunderstood within psychoanalysis today. This book celebrates and philosophically critiques Freud's most important contribution to understanding humanity: that psychic reality is governed by the unconscious mind. The contributors focus on several of Freud's most influential theories, including the nature and structure of dreams; infantile sexuality; drive and defense; ego development; symptom formation; feminine psychology; the therapeutic process; death; and the question of race. In so doing, they shed light on the ontological commitments Freud introduces in his metapsychology and the implications generated for engaging theoretical, clinical, and applied modes of philosophical inquiry.

Moses Begat King Tut
Author: Michael Garrett
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781468148923
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
Did science prove folklore? Scholars have long thought the tales of Oedipus were based on Akhenaten, the father of Tutankhamun. Now DNA and further evidence suggest King Tut was the offspring of a mother-son courtship like in the Oedipus stories. Ancient historians wrote about revolt and plagues caused by an Egyptian ruler who called himself Moses. Scholars agree that these tales resemble Akhenaten's rebellion. Could Akhenaten be the inspiration for Moses, Oedipus, and possibly others? Who else in biblical scripture and beyond might spring from Eighteenth Dynasty Egypt? David!? Solomon!? The Queen of Sheba!? You will be amazed when you find out.
