“A Place Of Paramount Peace”: The Unofficial Nationalism Of An Officially Peaceful Movement, Kari Irwin Apr 2009

“A Place Of Paramount Peace”: The Unofficial Nationalism Of An Officially Peaceful Movement, Kari Irwin

Honors Projects

In this paper, I argue that despite the Sanstha’s official message of peace, ecumenism and tolerance, the group’s rhetoric and activities reveal an unofficial side of the Sanstha that may foster intolerance, fundamentalism, and, possibly, a Hindu nationalist agenda. This connection is not to be found at an official, or even public, level. In order to accurately assess the movement’s role as a transnational Gujarati Hindu movement, we must reach a middle ground between the currently polarized scholarship, and critically, but empathetically, examine the Sanstha’s objectives as a global movement.

Reclaiming The Prophets: Cohen, Heschel, And Crossing The Theocentric/Neo-Humanist Divide, Robert Erlewine Jan 2009

Reclaiming The Prophets: Cohen, Heschel, And Crossing The Theocentric/Neo-Humanist Divide, Robert Erlewine

Scholarship

In this essay, I examine Hermann Cohen’s and Abraham Joshua Heschel’s respective accounts of the classical prophets of the Hebrew Bible, which contend with the Protestant biblical criticism of their day. Their accounts of the prophets are of central significance for their philosophies of Judaism, which mirror and oppose each other. This Auseinandersetzung addresses the often neglected topic of Jewish responses to German-Protestant biblical criticism and stresses the cogency of Heschel’s thought. Additionally, examining Cohen and Heschel together problematizes the polarization between theocentrism and neo-humanism currently dominating the landscape of modern Jewish thought.
