Description

A Landmark Exploration of Jewish History and CultureeFirst published in 1977; The Jewish Mind provides a penetrating insight into the complex collective reality of the Jewish people. Raphael Patai examines how six great historical encounters; spanning three millennia; between the Jews and other cultures led to both change and continuity in Jewish communities throughout the global diaspora.A Timeless Analysis by a Prominent ScholarPatai; a noted cultural anthropologist and historian; drew on a lifetime of research and personal experience to explore the contemporary Jewish mind in its many manifestations; including an exploration of the notion of Jews as a race; an investigation into Jewish intelligence and talents; a discussion of Jewish self-hate; and a profile of Jewish personality and character.An Insightful New Foreword by Ari L. GoldmanBestselling author and journalist Ari L. Goldman places the book in the context of recent turbulent events; especially in the Middle East; and confirms Patai s conclusion that Judaism remains of enormous value to humankind. Goldman calls the book a brilliant and absorbing survey of everything poured into the Jewish mind over the millennia. The Jewish Mind is a towering work of scholarship that remains relevant to anyone trying to understand Jewish culture and society around the world today.
