Abstract

In reaction to the spread of globalization, recent years have seen considerable growth in the number of intentional communities established across the world. In this collection of articles and lectures, many of them previously unpublished in English, the author analyzes various aspects of the philosophy of the kibbutz and draws parallels with other societies and philosophical trends, in the hope that a close look at the ways of thought of the kibbutz "arguably the best-established communalist society" may help other communalists crystallize their own social philosophies. Utopian thought and communal experience are brought to life through the extensive use of the voices of some of the most influential thinkers and kibbutz members of the past hundred years, including Martin Buber and David Ben Gurion.

Abstract

This work in the field of intellectual history explores religious ideas which emerged in Jewish thought under the influence of secular ideologies, and in response to the social and cultural realities created by Jewish Emancipation, Zionism and socialism. By concentrating on the major Jewish Orthodox movements of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Professor Fishman examines the innovative mechanisms of traditional Judaism that were activated by these movements, as they strove to accommodate new realities. The study focuses specifically on the Religious Kibbutz Federation in Israel, which (in the process of building its self-contained pioneering settlements) developed a religious sub-culture that incorporated the central values of Jewish nationalism and socialism. Professor Fishman shows that - by creating the most far-reaching synthesis of modern, and traditional Jewish, culture at the community level - the settlements of the RKF may be regarded as a test case for the measure of the capacity of Judaism to adapt to modern life.

Abstract

Il y a plus de 450 colonies moshavim et environ 270 kibboutzim en Israël. Bien qu'il existe une gamme de mouvements kibboutz communaux et de coopération, le tout avec de légères différences idéologiques, ils sont de toutes les communautés rurales collectives, fondées sur un idéal de créer un règlement sociale utopique. Ce livre place le kibboutz dans le contexte plus large des utopiques idéaux sociaux et fait comprendre comment ils ont été historiquement et architecturalement construits. Ce livre traite de la forme du "règlement idéal" comme une partie intégrante et des moyens pour réaliser une doctrine utopique. Il présente une analyse de la planification physique dans le kibboutz à travers les 80 dernières années et comment les changements dans l'idéologie se reflètent dans des changements dans l'aménagement et l'esthétique. Ce faisant, ce livre montre comment un organisme de règlement utopique se comporte au fil du temps, de leur première apparition en 1920 à un examen des dispositions actuelles spatiales et les directions de leur développement futur attendu.
