dc.description.abstract | This thesis analyzes the works of multiple prominent figures who attended the Frankfurt Freies Jüdisches Lehrhaus in order to find recurring themes indicating a common influence of the Lehrhaus upon these figures. The first chapter discusses Lehrhaus figures considering faith motivated action in the world was a spiritual requirement of a person of faith. The second chapter observes these figures’ tendency to demonstrate dissatisfaction with modernity and a need to propose modifications on and/or progressions beyond modernity. The third chapter demonstrates these figures inclination to think outside the boundaries of the movements of their times pursuing intellectual honesty and individual thought. | en_US |
