Nietzsche and Jewish Political Theology is the first book to
explore the impact of Friedrich Nietzsche's work on the formation
of Jewish political theology during the first half of the twentieth
century. It maps the many ways in which early Jewish thinkers
grappled with Nietzsche's powerful ideas about politics, morality,
and religion in the process of forging a new and modern Jewish
culture. The book explores the stories of some of the most
important Jewish thinkers who utilized Nietzsche's writings in
crafting the intellectual foundations of Jewish modern political
theology. These figures' political convictions ranged from orthodox
conservatism to pacifist anarchism, and their attitude towards
Nietzsche's ideas varied from enthusiastic embrace to ambivalence
and outright rejection. By bringing these diverse figures together,
the book makes a convincing argument about Nietzsche's importance
for key figures of early Zionism and modern Jewish political
thought. The present study offers a new interpretation of a
particular theological position which is called "heretical
religiosity." Only with modernity and, paradoxically, with rapid
secularization, did one find "heretical religiosity" at full
strength. Nietzsche enabled intellectual Jews to transform the
foundation of their political existence. It provides a new
perspective on the adaptation of Nietzsche's philosophy in the age
of Jewish national politics, and at the same time is a case study
in the intellectual history of the modern Jewry. This new reading
on Nietzsche's work is a valuable resource for students and
researchers interested in philosophy, Jewish history and political
theology.
