The Jewish Question

This article is about the book by Bruno Bauer. For the concept, see Jewish question. For other uses, see Jewish question (disambiguation).

The Jewish Question is an 1843 book by German historian and theologian Bruno Bauer, written and published in German (original title Die Judenfrage).[1]

Bauer argued that Jews can achieve political emancipation only if they relinquish their particular religious consciousness, since political emancipation requires a secular state, which he assumes does not leave any "space" for social identities such as religion. According to Bauer, such religious demands are incompatible with the idea of the "Rights of Man." True political emancipation, for Bauer, requires the abolition of religion. He described the contemporary concept of Jewish nationalism as "chimerical" and "baseless", as, according to him, Judaism is a primitive stage of development that would require surmounting one more stage than Christians before reaching the state of renouncing religion.[2][3]

Ihren Unglauben an die Völker und den ausschließlichen Glauben an ihre bodenlose Nationalität müssen sie zum Opfer bringen, ehe sie sich auch nur im Entferntesten in Stand sehen können, an wirklichen Staats- und Volksangelegenheiten aufrichtig und ohne geheimen Vorbehalt Theil zu nehmen."
