Matthew Arnold: Views On Hebraism And Hellenism In Relation To Western History
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. It can be argued that along with his mentor Socrates, Matthew Arnold virtually set the stage for effective perception of Hebraism and Hellenism. These European cultures came to represent various depictions to Arnold, whose own personal quest was to seek out the inherent values of Hellenism, a concept that revolved around reason, the pursuit of knowledge and the arts, moderation, civic responsibility and bodily development. Hebraism, on the other hand, stood for a moral theory or emphasis that was attributed to the Hebrews. In his interpretation of both cultures, Arnold considered them as harboring a dual historical heritage. The writer discusses Arnold's interpretation of Hebraism and Hellenism as they relate to Western history. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Modern Judaism
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing the characteristics and origins of Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Judaism as it exists in today’s world. What constitutes Judaism can be confusing for non-Jews. While we Gentiles and others consider a Jew to be a member of one of the world’s leading religions, we often forget that Jewishness also involves an ethnic identification for most of the world’s Jews. Both the culture and religion have undergone changes in the past several decades, indeed in the past century. The result is that the Jews have been able to retain their ancient traditions while still being successful in the modern world. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Nathan the Wise (1779)
[ send me this paper ]
(5pp) Gotthold Ephraim Lessing was one of the
major German writers of the Enlightenment.
Although the Enlightenment was generally considered
a period in which intellectuals wrote for other
intellectuals, Lessing's play of five acts is easy
to follow, largely because of its universal
themes of tolerance, brotherhood and reason.
Although Lessing liked to write controversial
material to prompt people's thoughts, he angered a
cleric in Hamburg, who began a violent and
personal anti-Semitic attack upon Lessing to make
his literary point. This story is addressing the
cleric's lack of tolerance.
