Hannah Peaceman presents a working paper on 'Systematic questions of Jewish political Philosophy'

This project aims to tackle the universality, secularity and practice of Jewish political Philosophy in the 19th century and until the Shoah. Reference-points are Jewish-German perspectives that were involved in political debates in magazines and newspapers until the Shoah. They have not been systematically accounted on since then from a philosophical perspective. The focus lies around the debates on the “Jewish Question”. Jewish perspectives provided important ideas on political emancipation and societal alternatives in the 19th century. In this paper I sort out my material, present criteria for the selection of sources and offer a first interpretation of an article in the journal "Sulamith".
