lt;p>The book analyses the ideological and philosophical basis of Zionism: the assimilation, national identity, self-liberation and the Jewish state. Zionism translated the idea of "Return to Zion" to philosophical and political goals. These issues are researched on the basis of the texts of Hess, Pinsker, Herzl and Nordau.


lt;p>The book analyses the ideological and philosophical basis of Zionism, i.e. how Zionism solved the most important problems of Jews in the last decades of the 19th century: the problem of assimilation, the philosophical principles of national identity, the idea of self-liberation and the conception of the Jewish state. Another problem discussed in this book is how the religious idea of "Return to Zion" became both philosophical and political goals. All considerations are based on the analysis of the source texts of the protagonists and founders of Zionism (Hess, Pinsker, Herzl and Nordau). Zionism is also shown in the perspective of its strength and weakness, as well as its importance for Jewishness in general.

lt;p>Jacek Surzyn is a Polish philosopher, author and translator and professor at Jesuit University Ignatianum in Kraków (Poland). He researches the ontology, theology and political philosophy of Judaism and Zionism. He also translates philosophical and political texts. As a publicist, he is engaged in the issues of Palestinian-Israeli conflict and modern anti-Semitism.
