Long description: Die Frage, was soziologisches Wissen ausmacht, hat die Entwicklung des Fachs seit seinen Anfängen teils im-, teils explizit begleitet. Sie lässt sich weniger denn je durch die normative Behauptung einer Einheit beantworten. Die Außengrenzen sind unbeständig, die Vielzahl der Binnendifferenzierungen nimmt zu. Das Buch wendet sich den Besonderheiten soziologischer Wissensproduktion empirisch und analytisch zu. Es widmet sich der Untersuchung und Diskussion von Wissenskulturen unter vorrangiger Berücksichtigung der Soziologie. Biographical note: Reiner Keller, Dr. phil., ist Professor für Soziologie an der Philosophisch-Sozialwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Augsburg. Dr. Angelika Poferl, ist Professorin für Allgemeine Soziologie an der Technischen Universität Dortmund.

The Habsburg Empire was one of the first regions where the academic study of Judaism took institutional shape in the nineteenth century. In Hungary, scholars such as Leopold and Immanuel Löw, David Kaufmann, Ignaz Goldziher, Wilhelm Bacher, and Samuel Krauss had a lasting impact on the Wissenschaft des Judentums (“Science of Judaism”). Their contributions to Biblical, rabbinic and Semitic studies, Jewish history, ethnography and other fields were always part of a trans-national Jewish scholarly network and the academic universe. Yet Hungarian Jewish scholarship assumed a regional tinge, as it emerged at an intersection between unquelled Ashkenazi yeshiva traditions, Jewish modernization movements, and Magyar politics that boosted academic Orientalism in the context of patriotic historiography. For the first time, this volume presents an overview of a century of Hungarian Jewish scholarly achievements, examining their historical context and assessing their ongoing relevance.

Commonly translated as the "Jewish Enlightenment," the Haskalah propelled Jews into modern life. Olga Litvak argues that the idea of a Jewish modernity, championed by adherents of this movement, did not originate in Western Europe's age of reason. Litvak contends that the Haskalah spearheaded a Jewish religious revival, better understood against the background of Eastern European Romanticism. Based on imaginative and historically grounded readings of primary sources, Litvak presents a compelling case for rethinking the relationship between the Haskalah and the experience of political and social emancipation. Most importantly, she challenges the prevailing view that the Haskalah provided the philosophical mainspring for Jewish liberalism. In Litvak's ambitious interpretation, nineteenth-century Eastern European intellectuals emerge as the authors of a Jewish Romantic revolution. Fueled by contradictory longings both for community and for personal freedom, the poets and scholars associated with the Haskalah questioned the moral costs of civic equality and the achievement of middle-class status. In the nineteenth century, their conservative approach to culture as the cure for the spiritual ills of the modern individual provided a powerful argument for the development of Jewish nationalism. Today, their ideas are equally resonant in contemporary debates about the ramifications of secularization for the future of Judaism.
