It also includes asection with an overviewofthe activities and events conductedat the centre duringits fourth academic year and areport on its library. The twelve articles contained in the present volume exhibit the extent to which MCAS scholarship advances the understanding of Judaism and scepticism, both in- dividuallyand together,among different thinkers and within different areas of study. Whether ashortnote or afull-fledged analysis,each paper has something fresh to offer and something new to say, opening new directions of research and inviting the scholarlycommunity to jointhe discussion. Aryeh Botwinick’sopeningessayoutlinesanew and thought-provoking ap- proach to Western thought and religion’sperception of itself. Instead of anarrative of conflict,Botwinick’shistoriosophyraises the notion of God’sunknowability as the mediating thread thatrenders monotheism and scepticism fundamentallyinter- twined. Michela Torbidoni’sstudy adds an important chapter to the as-yetunderstudied history of the persona and function of Socrateswithin the Jewish tradition. Focusing on the cases of Moses Mendelssohn and Simone Luzzatto, who operated at different times and in different contexts, she tantalisingly argues that the figure of Socrates can be considered as avehicle for Jewishemancipation. The comparative discussion adds evidence to the thesis that modern Jewish Italian culturewas part of the intel- lectualbasis of the programme to reform the statusofEuropean Jews in the late eighteenthcentury. BehnamZolghadr tackles one of the cornerstonesofAristotelianlogic—namely, the principle of non-contradiction—by presentingcritiques of it as reported by the Muslim theologian Faḫral-Dīnal-Rāzī (d. 1210). Zolghadr argues thatthese critiques, which can be traced back to the Muʿtazilite mutakallimūn,function as part of its con- solidation of the theory of states(aḥwāl), which can consequentlyberegarded as a dialetheic theory.Assuch, Zolghadr devises the first steps in modelling it logically using tools of paraconsistent logic developed in the late twentieth century,more than athousand years after the theory’sinception. Máté Veres enrichesthe understanding of ancientscepticism by exploring Clem- ent of Alexandria’sdiscussion of epochē (suspension of judgment) in his Stromateis. He examines and refines arguments thatsupport the claim thatClement is present- ing avariety of scepticism thatpredates the well-known version expounded by Sex- tus Empiricusand considers different explanations as to whyaChristian theologian of Clement’sstandingwould express interestinsceptical arguments, let alone recog- nise theirpotential legitimacy.

He shows the vast extent to which Eckhart drawsonthis work, explicitlyand also implicitly,inorder to account for his own Christian philosophy, primarilygravitating towards IbnGabirol’smetaphysics of the One. Strauss shows that manyofthe provocative and unusual elements of Eck- hart’sChristian thoughtcorrespond to Eckhart’sfavourable view of Fons vitae. Giada Coppola elucidates Obadiah Sforno’s(?1475–1550) philosophicalinterpre- tation of the individual human soul in his Lightofthe Nations,with emphasis on his defence of its immortality.Coppola shows how exegetical interpretation and the text’sphilosophical background are intrinsically connected, identifies Sforno’ssour- ces common to the Hebrew and Latin traditions, and displays the interesting dynam- ics between Sforno’sphilosophical composition and his biblical commentaries. José MaríaSánchez de León Serrano offers anew reading of the Flemish thinker Arnold Geulincx (1624–69)based on an audacious interpretation of his epistemolog- ical views. By tracing the central tenetsofGeulincx’sthought back to his method of self-inspection, SánchezdeLeónSerrano illuminatesthe unity and systematic char- acter of this multifaceted philosopher—who at first glanceseems to offer an incoher- ent blend of scepticism and metaphysics—and opens up new vistas in the studyof this stillwidelyoverlooked thinker. Avraham Rot’spaper offers an original and challenging interpretation of Spi- noza’sphilosophical project,arguing that if one shifts the focus of analysis from his theory of knowledge to his theory of affects, Spinoza emergesasaphilosopher whose scepticism is significantlymoreradical than its Cartesian counterpart.Rot claims that for Spinoza, the doubt that matters is not doubt as amethodological de- vice employed to attain certainty,but rather the doubt that human beingsconstantly experience insofarasthey are finite, embodied, and uncertain of their future. TimothyFranz offers ahighlydetailed, in-depth analysis of Solomon Maimon’s seldom-studied Weltseele (1790), which he describes as aproto-dialectical metaphy- sics of the absolute. Beyond exploring the Weltseele on its own terms, Franz identi- fies it as akey stageinMaimon’sphilosophical development and argues that it func- tions as an attempt to overcome the self-conceivedfailure of Maimon’swell-known Essay on Transcendental Philosophy. In turn, the ideas in the Weltseele wereaban- doned,although not before they exposed the need to construct alogic of the abso- lute, which was ultimatelyexpressed in Maimon’s Logik (1794). Michah Gottlieb’scontribution does much to clarify the debate surroundingJu- daism and dogma as reflected in German-speaking Jewishauthors in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, showing thatitisnot merelyatheoretical question, but also has much to do with concrete considerations concerning Jewish society.Hebe- gins with athorough analysis of Moses Mendelssohn’sview of Judaism, explaining in what sense it should be understood as anti-dogmatic and also how it reflects Men- delssohn’saspiration for aself-conception of Judaism thatisdistinct from Christian- ity.Gottlieb then turns to discuss leading nineteenth-century German-speakingJew- ish thinkers and shows how they transform the problem from an intrareligious one to Postscript XI an interreligious one. Each response is informed by aconcept of Judaism that is in- timatelyconnected to the problem of Jewishcommunal unity. Anne Fiebig’sarticle is the first to offer asystematic account of the concept of tolerance in the thought of Yeshayahu Leibowitz (1903–94), one of the most impor- tant—and certainlymost controversial—Israeli philosophers, as it emergesfrom his religious scepticism. AnalysingLeibowitz’sepistemology,Fiebigpresents Leibowitz as amodel against religious dogmatism, which Leibowitz regardsascorruptive to agenuinelyfaithful position. Finally, through an analysis of an earlyseventeenth-century Jesuit report about religious minorities in China,Giuseppe

  • In Search of Enlightenment by Reading Samuel Beckett’S Waiting for Godot
    LITERARIA An International Journal of New Literature Across the World ISSN: 2229-4600 VOL. 5, No. 1-2, JAN-DEC 2015 In Search of Enlightenment by Reading Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot SYED ISMYL MAHMOOD RIZVI Patna University, Patna ABSTRACT Beckett’s philosophical indebtedness has long been recognised – especially in conjunction with Dante, Descartes and Geulincx. In this article, I examine Beckettian universal values of Enlightenment, which will be exposed as self-serving mystifications that rationalize and instrumentalize the meaning of life. In this context, the awareness of the Enlightenment nature of Beckett’s writing in Waiting for Godot will be analysed along with the freedom appeal of his reader as he strives to attain the enlightenment. ‘For enlightenment, all that is needed is freedom.’ (Kant 1991 [1784]) Suppose an individual in the world which is a hard shell that he attempts to toss it away, but for what; to think beyond it, and to relocate him beyond it in order to attain enlightenment. Whenever he looks above into the sky, the high sky, the clouds, the flying birds, the stars, the moon, the sun and the cosmos, those make him to forget the hard shell for a while until his eyes fell upon it and he is recaptured. Still into the pupil of his eyes he is reflecting the cosmos. This energy within him, within anyone has vitality and potentiality to reflect the cosmos, and to look beyond the hard shell. Let’s say that he has had an enlightenment experience. Enlightenment is a fact. It is the Truth itself.

  • In the Period Immediately After the Personal Catastrophe That Brought
    Louis Althusser and the End of Classical Russian Marxism: Spinoza, Hegel and the Critique of Dogmatic Marxism David Campbell Abstract: An attempt to restate Marx’s critical method in terms of Spinozist dogmatic epistemology was central to Louis Althusser’s conception of Marxist philosophy. Though it is no longer necessary to argue that this ‘restatement’ had almost no ground in Marx’s own thinking, it was a highly significant expression of the essence of dialectical materialism. Through discussion of Hegel’s critique of Spinoza, it will be argued that a democratically acceptable method of criticism of the mistaken beliefs of others, such as Marx developed in Capital, must take a resolutely anti-dogmatic approach which has the principle of winning subjective conviction at its core. Keywords: critical method; dogmatism; dialectical materialism; Spinoza; Hegel; Althusser Word count: 10,300 (14,385 including apparatuses) Contact details: School of Law, Lancaster University, Lancaster, LA1 4YN; 01524 594123; [email protected] Biographical note: David Campbell is a Professor of Law at Lancaster University. His research interests are in the economic, legal and social theory of regulation, and in particular in the law of contract as the general regulation of exchange. Working in areas which have throughout his professional life been dominated by Chicagoan law and economics, he has sought to advance a socialist alternative to that approach.

ABSTRACT ISAAC SATANOW, THE MAN AND HIS WORK; A STUDY IN THE BERLIN HASKAIAH Nehama Rezler Bersohn Isaac Satanow, one of the most prolific writers of the Berlin Haskalah (Jewish enlightenment), typifies the maskil (an enlightened Jew) of his time. He was born and reared in Podolia, Poland at a time when Frankism and Cabbalah were reaching their peak influence. He subsequently moved to Berlin where the Jewish enlightenment movement was gaining momentum influenced by the general enlightenment and Prussia's changing economy. Satanow's way of life expressed the con­ fluence of these two worlds, Podolia and Berlin. Satanow adopted the goal of the moderate Haskalah to educate the Jewish masses, and by teaching them modern science, modern languages and contemporary ideas, to help them in improving their economic, social and political situation. To achieve this goal, he wrote numerous books and articles, sometimes imitating styles of and attributing the authorship to medieval and earlier writers so that his teaching would be respected and accepted.

  • 3 Al-Farabi, Avicenna, and Averroes in Hebrew: Remarks on the Indirect Transmission of Arabic-Islamic Philosophy in Medieval Judaism
    3 Al-FArAbi, AvicennA, And Averroes in Hebrew: remArks on tHe indirect trAnsmission oF ArAbic-islAmic PHilosophy in medievAl JudAism James T. Robinson erhaps as early as the eighth century, in the Islamic East, the traditional Sanskrit tales about the Buddha’s enlightenment—about his recognition of his own mortality and training with an ascetic monk—were translated into Persian and Arabic. The Arabic version, entitled Bilawhar wa-Būdhāsaf, then served as Pthe basis for renderings into Georgian, Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and a long list of European vernacular languages.1 These renderings were, more often than not, not straightforward translations but adaptations, often introducing significant modifications into the frame narrative. The Greek version, for example, transformed Bilawhar—an ascetic teacher—into Barlaam, a saintly Christian monk, and his disciple Budasaf or Yudasaf—the Buddha—into Joasaph or Josaphat, a saintly Christian Neophyte.2 The Hebrew version is no less surprising than the Greek, when Bilawhar be- comes not a Jewish sage but a Neoplatonic philosopher, and his 1 For the Arabic and Persian versions, see D. Gimaret (1972); D. Gimaret (1971). See also S. M. Stern and S. Walzer (1971). For the Georgian and Greek versions, see: D. M. Lang (1957), idem (1966); John Damascene (1914). The Hebrew version was edited by A. M. Habermann (1951), with extensive apparatus and commentary. For the vernacular versions, see most recently the studies of the German and English versions: S. Calomino (1990); K. Ikegami (1999). 2 In fact, both Barlaam and Joasaph/Josaphat became Christian saints. 60 The Judeo-Christian-Islamic Heritage final lesson to his young disciple is not a lesson in religious prac- tice but an introduction to neoplatonic metaphysics, based on the Arabic versions of Plotinus—namely, that complex of texts associated with the Theology of Aristotle.3 This is one example of the indirect transmission of Greek and Arabic philosophy in medieval Judaism.

  • Jegór Von Sivers' Herderian Cosmopolitanism
    Ajalooline Ajakiri, 2012, 1/2 (139/140), 79–113 Humanität versus nationalism as the moral foundation of the Russian Empire: Jegór von Sivers’ Herderian cosmopolitanism* Eva Piirimäe No single author is more important for the development of nationalism in Central and Eastern Europe than Johann Gottfried Herder (1744–1803).1 Yet Herder’s own relationship to nationalism continues to be debated.2 This is partly owed to the ambivalence of the notion “nationalism” itself. There is no doubt Herder is a “nationalist”, if by this term we refer to someone who defends national diversity as valuable and cherishes and cultivates one’s own language and national customs. Yet, it is more common in the anglo- phone world to use the term “nationalist” for someone who supports one’s nation’s aggressive foreign policies. In this case, Herder is rather an oppo- nent of nationalism. There is also a third widely used notion of national- ism, known also as the “principle of nationality” according to which “the * Research for this article has been funded by the Estonian Science Foundation Grant No. 8887 and the Target Financed Program No. SF0180128s08. 1 See Peter Drews, Herder und die Slaven: Materialien zur Wirkungsgeschichte bis zur Mitte des 19.
