Abstract:
Sketches the life and career of Riesser (1806-1863) and discusses his tracts for the civic equality of the Jews as human beings and as Germans, tracing the origins of his ideas to Luther (freedom of conscience), Lessing, and Herder. Against irrational hatred, he called for love of one's fellow man; against the demand for assimilation he called for respect for Jews who remained loyal to their religion.
