M. Buber and G. Scholem: two perspectives on Eastern European Hasidism
Širl, Radim ; Lyčka, Milan (advisor) ; Halík, Tomáš (referee)
M. Buber and G. Scholem: two perspectives on Eastern European Hasidism Abstract: East European Hasidism is a religious movement in Judaism arising in the first half of the eighteenth century. The aim of this bachelor's degree thesis is to compare two approaches toward this phenomenon: the approaches of Martin Buber and Gershom Scholem. The goal is not to provide detailed description of all the aspects of their study but to find some kind of core of their perspectives and to present them as essentially different. Buber's perspective can be defined as non-historic due to its status between religion and philosophy and because the trace of the author in the whole interpretation is very deep. Scholem's perspective is by contrast defined as historic for it draws its conclusions from the non-selective study of source texts and historical context; it is also a scientific approach. The last part of this essay deals with motivations of both authors and strives to propose some apology of Buber's approach. Key words: East European Hasidism, Martin Buber, Gershom Scholem
