Description

Whilst an increasing amount of attention is being paid to law's connection or involvement with National Socialism, less attention is focussed upon thinking through the links between law and the emergence of antisemitism. As a consequence, antisemitism is presented as a pre-existent given, as something that is the object, rather than the subject of study. In this way, the question of law's connection to antisemitism is presented as one of external application. In this ironic mimesis of the positivist tradition, the question of a potentially more intimate or dialectical connection between law and antisemitism is avoided. This work differs from these accounts by explaining the relationsjip between law and antisemitism through a discussion of these issues by critical thinkers from the mid-19th century to the present; that is, from Marx to Agamben through Nietzsche, Sartre, Adorno and Horkheimer, Arendt and Lyotard. Despite the variety that exists between each thinker, one particular common critical theme unites them. That theme is the connections they make, in diverse ways, between legal rights as an expression of modern political emancipation and the emergence and development of the social phenomenon of antisemitism. Revisiting these discussions as a whole, it becomes apparent that the nature of this phenomenon they are attempting to capture, understand and challenge is itself a product of social and political development; the same developments, in other words, that account for the changing nature of law and rights. In this way, the connection between law and antisemitism becomes more discernible; each, in its own way, becomes a crystallised concept of a specific expression of social relations at any given historical moment. Approaching the question of the relationship of law and antisemitism in this way not only brings into question the popular, but ultimately, mistaken, notion of an "eternal antisemitism", but brings into doubt the idea of a monolithic "modern" antisemitism, that emerges fully formed, unchanging and static (Bauman). As a consequence, this work is sensitive to the changing nature of antisemitism and law within the context of the changing nature of social and political relations. It brings to the fore the notion that the antisemitism brought into existence along with 19th century liberalism (Marx and Sartre) is different from the antisemitism that emerged along with the demise of liberalism and the rise of fascism, Nazism and Soviet communism (as well as 20th century welfare liberalism) (Arendt, Adorno and Horkheimer). As a consequence, the thinkers discussed in this work will be examined not only for their insights and accounts of the development of antisemitism, but also, as expressions of the particular society of which they are writing - not, it need be added, as expressing antisemitic views about the Jews, but of the social and political world upon which they are critically reflecting. In this way, a further aim of the project comes into focus; that of the impact of the holocaust upon critical forms of thought itself.
