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.

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.
