Hans Baron, Karl Popper, Leo Strauss and Erich Auerbach were among
the many German-speaking Jewish intellectuals who fled Continental
Europe with the rise of Nazism in the 1930s. Their scholarship,
though not normally considered together, is studied here to
demonstrate how, despite their different disciplines and
distinctive modes of working, they responded polemically in the
guise of traditional scholarship to their shared trauma. For each,
the political calamity of European fascism was a profound
intellectual crisis, requiring an intellectual response which
Weinstein and Zakai now contextualize, ideologically and
politically. They exemplify just how extensively, and sometimes how
subtly, 1930s and 1940s scholarship was used not only to explain,
but to fight the political evils that had infected modernity,
victimizing so many. An original perspective on a popular area of
research, this book draws upon a mass of secondary literature to
provide an innovative and valuable contribution to
twentieth-century intellectual history.
