Beyond the Letters: The Question of… : DASH Story 2015-07-28
Story content
I am working to complete my latest book on the ambiguity and confusions of several 19th and 20th century Jewish intellectuals. Now that I am retired from university teaching and have neither the funds nor the health to travel overseas to to do research, the isolation of where I am is deeply felt. Thanks to library interloans, some purchasing of books online and haunting of second hand books shops and fairs, I can put together a respectable body sources to use in my work; but having an up-to-date thesis like this one ansd from a truly prestigious university likke Harvard, lets me also be sure that I am up-to-date and on the right track. Neuroscience, linguistic theiory, and phislophiscal studies--from Warburg through Wittgenstein, Cassirer and Auerbach, the basic grounding of Jewish theory is kept in oline, too, and hen ce my appreciation of Mayse's thersis on Rebbi Medyer Baer.
