The transformation of the human sciences into the social
sciences in the third part of the 19th century was closely related
to attempts to develop and implement methods for dealing with
social tensions and the rationalization of society. This book
studies the connections between academic disciplines and notions of
Jewish assimilation and integration and demonstrates that the quest
for Jewish assimilation is linked to and built into the conceptual
foundations of modern social science disciplines.
Focusing on two influential "assimilated" Jewish authorsa
"anthropologist Franz Boas and sociologist Georg Simmela "this
study shows that epistemological considerations underlie the
authorsa (TM) respective evaluations of the Jewsa (TM) assimilation
in German and American societies as a form of "group extinction" or
as a form of "social identity." This conceptual model gives a new
"key" to understanding pivotal issues in recent Jewish history and
in the history of the social sciences.
