Tradition and Invention

Elisheva Carlebach in Jewish Review of Books · 17 Dec 2019

"The text 'Tradition and Invention' explores how Jews, for much of their history, were perceived as lacking a political life due to their exile and subordination under other ruling powers. Over time, this perception shifted, especially with the emergence of Zionism and the establishment of Israel. The book project, led by Michael Walzer, aims to unearth and analyze Jewish political thought throughout history, challenging old perceptions and integrating it with wider intellectual traditions. However, critiques point out a lack of historical context in presenting texts, hindering a nuanced understanding of how Jewish political life evolved and was reinvented in different eras and locations. The volume ultimately highlights the ongoing process of invention within Jewish political traditions."
