Enlightenment and Diaspora
The
Armenian and Jewish Cases
Edited by Richard G. Hovannisian and David N. Myers
The primary theme of Enlightenment
and Diaspora is the complex and multifaceted engagement of two prominent diaspora
communities with the European Enlightenment movement.
The volume focuses on the comparative experience of Armenian and Jewish
intellectuals and merchants in receiving, reformulating, and then disseminating
Enlightenment values to their respective communities.
Specialists in Armenian and Jewish studies examine the role of commerce in
spreading the Enlightenment; the path of transmission of Enlightenment thought from
Western and Central Europe to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and the Indian
subcontinent; the tension between Enlightenment and traditional religious authority; and
the Enlightenment's role in the development of national identity.
