Using the work of a range of key thinkers, from Marx to Agambe, Nietzsche, Sartre, Adorno and Horkheimer, Arendt and Lyotard, this book examines the connections between legal rights as an expression of modern political emancipation and the emergence and development of the social phenomenon of antisemitism. Addressing, amongst others the topic of the Holocaust and it’s impact upon critical forms of thought and public life, it discusses the relationship between law and anti-Semitism.
The author’s departure from the more traditional analysis, where anti-Semitism is a pre-existent given, a new and exciting perspective sheds doubt upon the idea of a monolithic ‘modern’ anti-Semitism and questions the popular notion of an ‘eternal antisemitism’.
