Matthew Arnold: Views On Hebraism And Hellenism In Relation To Western History
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. It can be argued that along with his mentor Socrates, Matthew Arnold virtually set the stage for effective perception of Hebraism and Hellenism. These European cultures came to represent various depictions to Arnold, whose own personal quest was to seek out the inherent values of Hellenism, a concept that revolved around reason, the pursuit of knowledge and the arts, moderation, civic responsibility and bodily development. Hebraism, on the other hand, stood for a moral theory or emphasis that was attributed to the Hebrews. In his interpretation of both cultures, Arnold considered them as harboring a dual historical heritage. The writer discusses Arnold's interpretation of Hebraism and Hellenism as they relate to Western history. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Modern Judaism
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing the characteristics and origins of Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Judaism as it exists in today’s world. What constitutes Judaism can be confusing for non-Jews.

Both the culture and religion have undergone changes in the past several decades, indeed in the past century. The result is that the Jews have been able to retain their ancient traditions while still being successful in the modern world. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Although the Enlightenment was generally considered a period in which intellectuals wrote for other intellectuals, Lessing's play of five acts is easy to follow, largely because of its universal themes of tolerance, brotherhood and reason.
