Transformation in the Writing, A Case of Surrender-and-Catch further develops the concepts first presented in Surrender and Catch (1976) and applied to sociology and its history in Survival and Sociology (1991) and autobiography in O Loma! (1989). This idea involves the recognition of the unprecedented nature of the present time in the history of humankind and the planet, a time when we ourselves, rather than Nature or the Deity, can annihilate both ourselves and our planet. Surrender' is nonlinguistic (or prelinguistic), prepredicative', prephenomenal', and involves suspending or bracketing' the world, calling it into question. This is the best any individual can do, in view of the point of crisis at which we are now. In Transformation in the Writing Wolff explores how his hypothesis of Surrender(-and-Catch) bears on aspects of autobiography (emigre status, field work), sociology of knowledge, poetry, phenomenology, hermeneutics, critical theory, and on attitudes to our time.

"An Outline of Social Psychology" is a foundational text in the field of behavioral science, offering a comprehensive framework for understanding social behavior from an objective, interbehavioral perspective. Written by the influential psychologist J. R. Kantor, this work systematically explores the functional relationships between individuals and their social environments. Rather than relying on the mentalistic explanations common in early 20th-century psychology, the text emphasizes the observation of human conduct as it is shaped by cultural stimuli and social institutions. Throughout the volume, Kantor examines the development of social habits, the dynamics of group behavior, and the mechanisms of collective action. By treating social phenomena as complex interactions rather than internal states, the work provides a rigorous scientific methodology for analyzing how societal forces influence individual personality and conduct. The book serves as a significant historical contribution to the evolution of psychological thought, challenging traditional assumptions and proposing a more integrated view of the human experience. "An Outline of Social Psychology" remains an essential resource for scholars of psychological history, behaviorism, and sociology, offering timeless insights into the structures of social adaptation and the power of the institutional environment over the individual.

The purpose of this concise treatment was never to give a full account of China's great change - crucial for herself and - since she is a fifth of manking - for the world. The aim was to speak to western-educated people (not just those of western origin but many on all continents schooled under colonial influence) - to help them to "shift gears" from what they had been taught as history to things they had not been taught or led to dismiss as marginal.

First Published in 2005. This book constitutes the continuation and complement of a work, The Chatham House Version and Other Middle-Eastern Studies, published in 1970. Both works are concerned with certain themes prominent in recent middle-eastern history, namely the influence of great-power, and particularly British policies in the region; the character of middle-eastern, and particularly Arab, politics and political thought during the last hundred years or so; and the fate of so-called minorities, and particularly the Jews of the Arab world, caught as they were in the cross-fire of antagonistic ideologies and of international conflicts.

The State of the Jews examines the current predicament of the Jewish people and the land of Israel, both of which still stand at the storm center of history, because Jews can never take the right to live as a natural right. The volume comprises celebrations and attacks. Edward Alexander celebrates writers like Abba Kovner, Cynthia Ozick, Ruth Wisse, and Hillel Halkin, who recognized in the foundation of Israel shortly after the destruction of European Jewry one of the few redeeming events in a century of blood and shame. He attacks Israel's external enemies�busy planners of boycotts, brazen advocates of politicide, professorial apologists for suicide bombing�and also its internal enemies. These are "anti-Zionist" Jews, devotees of lost causes willfully blind to the fact that Israel's creation was an event of biblical magnitude. Indifference to Jewish survival during World War II was the admitted moral failure of earlier American-Jewish intellectuals, but today's "progressives" and "New Diasporists" call indifference virtue, and mistake cowardice for courage. Because the new anti-Semitism, tightening the noose around Israel's throat, emanates mainly from liberals, Alexander analyzes both antisemitic and philosemitic strains in three prominent Victorian liberals: Thomas Arnold, his son Matthew, and John Stuart Mill. The main body of Alexander's book is divided generically into history, politics, and literature. At a deeper level, its chapters are integrated by the book's pervasive concern: the interconnectedness between the state of Israel and the spiritual state of contemporary Jewry.

About the Book Books on Jewish History discuss the development of the Jewish culture and religion over more than three millennia. Jews were dispersed through in Babylonian, Egypt, throughout the Roman Empire, and later throughout Europe and much of the world. The Zionist movement of the late 19th century was formed with the aim of re-establishing a Jewish homeland. European Jewry suffered greatly in the Holocaust in Nazi-dominated Europe in the 1930s and 40s. The State of Israel, established in 1949, provided that homeland. Titles include: The History of Jerusalem A. D. 1180, Fragments from Græco-Jewish Writers, Jews and Judaism in the nineteenth century, Juden als Erfinder und Entdecker, Juden und Judenverfolgungen im Alten Alexandria, Die Judenfrage; eine ethische Frage, The true story of the Exodus of Israel, The Jews in America, The English Jew and his religion, The Jews in China, The Jews of Asia, Anti-Semitism, its cause and cure, and Israel's inalienable possessions.

In "The Third British Empire," Sir Alfred Eckhard Zimmern, a distinguished English classical scholar, historian, and political scientist, delves into the intriguing longevity of the British Empire amid the dissolution of other empires. Pioneering the use of the term "British Commonwealth," Zimmern explores the survival and form of the empire, raising critical questions about its continued existence in an era marked by the collapse of empires. With a keen eye on the historical landscape, he tackles the challenges and outlines the imperatives for the British Empire to justify its endurance in a rapidly changing world. Join Zimmern on a thought-provoking journey as he unveils the secrets behind the resilience of one of history's most influential empires. In this series of lectures, given at Columbia University in January 1925, the author lays out the purpose of the lectures: "The questions to which we shall be seeking answers in these lectures are three in number. Firstly, why has the British Empire survived at a time when these other empires have dissolved and disappeared? Secondly, how has it survived? In what form has it survived? Thirdly, what must it do to justify its survival in an age which seems destined to dissolve empires?"

Historians of the European Jewish experience have long marginalized the intellectual achievement of Jews in England, where it was assumed no seminal figures contributed to the development of modern Jewish thought. In this first comprehensive account of the emergence of Anglo-Jewish thought in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, David Ruderman impels a reconsideration of the formative beginnings of modern European Jewish culture. He uncovers a vibrant Jewish intellectual life in England during the Enlightenment era by examining a small but fascinating group of hitherto neglected Jewish thinkers in the process of transforming their traditional Hebraic culture into a modern English one. This lively portrait of English Jews reformulating their tradition in light of Enlightenment categories illuminates an overlooked corner in the history of Jewish culture in England and Jewish thought during the Enlightenment. Ruderman overturns the conventional view that the origins of modern Jewish consciousness are located exclusively within the German-Jewish experience, particularly Moses Mendelssohn's circle. Independent of the better-known German experience, the encounter between Jewish and English thought was incubated amid the unprecedented freedom enjoyed by Jews in England. This resulted in a less inhibited defense of Jews and Judaism. In addition to the original and prolific thinkers David Levi and Abraham Tang, Ruderman introduces Abraham and Joshua Van Oven, Mordechai Shnaber Levison, Samuel Falk, Isaac Delgado, Solomon Bennett, Hyman Hurwitz, Emanuel Mendes da Costa, Ralph Shomberg, and others. Of obvious appeal and import to students of Jewish and English history, this study depicts the challenge of defining a religious identity in the modern age.

Book by Aharoni, Ada

This volume presents a comparative perspective on the way dreams are reported, perceived, and interpreted in vastly different cultural milieux. In contrast to Freud's claim that all dreams share a universal language of symbols, the authors of the essays collected in this book seek to explore the unique dream-languages of distinct civilizations. Sixteen previously unpublished works by such distinguished scholars as Barbara and Dennis Tedlock, Moshe Idel, Christiano Grottanelli, and Jean-Claude Schmitt examine the literature of dreams from China, India, Meso-America, Greek and Roman antiquity, early Christianity, Rabbinic Judaism and Kabbala, Islam, medieval and early-modern Europe, and nineteenth-century Vienna. Taken together, they constitute an important first step toward a new understanding of the ways in which different cultures experience and conceptualize the world of dreams. --
