Summary Moses Hess, a fascinating 19th-century German Jewish intellectual figure, was at times religious and secular, traditional and modern, practical and theoretical, socialist and nationalist. Moses Hess and Modern Jewish Identity offers a radically new reading of Moses Hess's corpus in order to reveal, in fresh and significant ways, how Hess's (1812-1875) writings force us to rethink modern Jewish identity
