The Holy History of Mankind appeared  in 1837, and was the first book-length socialist tract to appear in Germany, representing an unusual synthesis of Judaism and Christianity that showed the considerable influence upon Hess of Spinoza, Herder and Hegel. In due course many of Hess's ideas would find their way into the work of Karl Marx, and into subsequent socialist thought. The distinguished political scientist Shlomo Avineri provides the first full English translation of this text, along with new renditions of Socialism and Communism, A Communist Credo; and The Consequences of a Future Revolution of the Proletariat. All of the usual reader-friendly series features are provided, including a chronology, concise introduction and notes for further reading, in a work of special relevance to students of politics, modern European history, and the history of Zionism.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Note on the text\u003cbr\u003e Chronology\u003cbr\u003e Bibliographical note\u003cbr\u003e The Holy History of Mankind\u003cbr\u003e Socialism and Communism\u003cbr\u003e A Communist Credo\u003cbr\u003e Consequences of a Future Revolution of the Proletariat\u003cbr\u003e Appendix: Christ and Spinoza (from Rome and Jerusalem: The Last Nationality Question)\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History of ideas [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History of ideas\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20of%20ideas%20%5BJFCX%5D%22\"\u003eJFCX\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46002809012504,"sku":"9780521387569","price":16.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521387569i_38e9f9bc-37ea-420c-bf58-b339386a1889.jpg?v=1691376201","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/moses-hess-the-holy-history-of-mankind-and-other-writings-paperback-9780521387569","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
