Freud And the Legacy Of Moses (Cambridge Studies in Religion and Critical Thought 4) -by- Richard J Bernstein -edited by- Wayne proudfoot et al. Philosophy. Judaism. Freud's last book, 'Moses and Monotheism', was published in 1939 during one of the darkest periods in Jewish history; this scandalous and difficult book has often been vilified and dismissed because Freud claims that Moses was not a Hebrew but an Egyptian, and he also claims that the Jews murdered Moses in the wilderness; Bernstein argues that a close reading of 'Moses and Monotheism' reveals an underlying powerful coherence in which Freud seeks to specify the distinctive character and contribution of the Jewish people; the legacy of the strict ethical monotheism of Moses is the progress of spirituality (the advance of intellectuality); it is this character that has enabled the Jewish people to survive despite persecution and virulent antisemitism, and Freud proudly identifies himself with this legacy of Moses; in his analysis of Freud's often misunderstood book, Bernstein goes on to show how Freud expands and deepens our understanding of a religious tradition by revealing its unconscious dynamics (Cambridge University Press, 1998) ISBN 0521638771. Softcover book, 151 pages, NEW.
