Abstract:
Analyzes theories describing various types of antisemitism, according to the diverse causes of this phenomenon. Distinguishes between antisemitism as a result of Jewish nature (Bernard Lazare); Jews as a closed community, provoking the envy and hostility of the surrounding society; Christian antisemitism stemming from theological conflict and leading to the teaching of contempt (Jules Isaac); racial antisemitism as hatred of the Other and hierarchical determination of cultural (or biological) groups (Christian Delacampagne); social antisemitism, interpreted as pathology (Cesare Lombroso), class struggle (Abram Leon), scapegoating (Emile Durkheim), or political maneuver (Hannah Arendt); and psychological antisemitism as an expression of passion (Jean-Paul Sartre), envy (Sigmund Freud) or collective psychosis (Ernest Simmel). States that various kinds of antisemitism can exist together, and that there is a core of instigators (active haters) and a multitude of passive subjects susceptible to influence through propaganda.
