About “Rome and Jerusalem”

Moses Hess was a German-Jewish philosopher and writer who contributed to early socialist theory. He was a close collaborator and influence on Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. In his later years, Hess turned his attention to Jewish nationalism. His 1862 book, Rome and Jerusalem, marked a significant shift in his intellectual focus and is considered a foundational text in the development of Zionism.
