Summary

Desde el descubrimiento del monoteísmo por los israelitas hasta sus aportaciones en la creación y el desarrollo del capitalismo, el socialismo y el psicoanálisis, el genio judío se percibe en todas las manifestaciones artísticas, científicas y del pensamiento.

El historiador Paul Johnson señala algunas de las contradicciones inherentes al hecho de ser judío –como, por ejemplo, la racionalidad frente al misticismo– y observa un peculiar nacionalismo, expresado ya en el Libro de los Macabeos, que desembocó en el sionismo.

«Ningún pueblo ha insistido más firmemente en que la humanidad tiene un destino y la historia un propósito», dice Johnson. Una historia de cuatro mil años –de Abraham a la consolidación del Estado de Israel– en la que se forjó una cultura que ha ejercido una influencia innegable en la formación del mundo moderno.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From the discovery of monotheism by the Israelites to their contributions in the creation and development of capitalism, socialism, and psychoanalysis, Jewish brilliance can be perceived in all artistic, scientific, and philosophical branches.

Historian Paul Johnson points out some of the contradictions inherent in being Jewish—for example, rationality and mysticism—and observes a peculiar nationalism, expressed even in the Book of Maccabees, that led to Zionism. “No people have insisted more firmly that humanity has a destiny and history has a purpose,” says Johnson. A history of four thousand years—from Abraham to the consolidation of the state of Israel—which forged a culture that has had an undeniable influence on the formation of the modern world.
