[MaFLA] Prof. Edward Breuer: Jews and Political Power / dec. 2-4; 8-9.

[Dániel Villányi]

*Course description:* Moses Mendelssohn was one of the most formidable
Jewish intellectuals of the eighteenth century, and Jerusalem remains one
of his most important works. This course will begin with an overview of
Mendelssohn's life and Jewish writings, after which we will turn to the
events that lead to the publication of Jerusalem in 1783. Most of the
course will be dedicated to a careful reading and analysis of this text,
with an eye to Mendelssohn's bold attempt at imagining a modern liberal
state in distinctly Jewish terms.

*Edward Breuer* is a native of Montreal, Canada, and received his MA and
Phd from Harvard in the field of Jewish intellectual history. He taught at
the University of Pennsylvania and Loyola University, and then made aliyah
to Jerusalem in 2001, where he currently teaches in the Department of
Jewish History and Contemporary Jewry at the Hebrew University. Breuer's
research has focused on the writings of Moses Mendelssohn. He is currently
writing a volume with Marc Z. Brettler on the Jewish reception of biblical
criticism.
