Abstract:
In the history of relations between nation and religion, the State of Israel remains a special case. Not really falling into any category - theocracy, French secular or Anglo-Saxon secular state, etc. — it is similar to a sui generis case, referred to here as "disembodiment", and which has its own characteristics. To historically demonstrate such a phenomenon, the author is interested in the intellectual career of the German Jewish historian Heinrich Graetz (1817-1891). Taking as guiding thread his History of the Jews, the first global and modern Jewish national myth, this article highlights the ways by which this unclassifiable thinker became the pioneer of disembodiment and how his religious and national ideas traveled around the Jewish world, from the Germanic countries to Eastern Europe, to finally arrive in Palestine and experience a second intellectual youth in the State of Israel.
