摘要
本文探讨了魏玛时期德国犹太信仰公民中央协会(Centralverein deutscher Staatsbürger jüdischen Glaubens,CV)活动家对犹太解放和共和国家秩序的概念化。它认为,活动人士采用了宪法爱国主义的自由主义概念,并参与了一个共和国建设项目,该项目远远超出了其反对反犹太主义的传统防御任务(Abwehr)和启蒙任务(Aufklärung)。这需要团结共和党同僚捍卫国家秩序,倡导宪法和法治精神,积极参与共和社会的发展。在这样做的过程中,简历重新思考了“德国人”的含义,并以一种独特的共和形式理解了它,认为认同宪法和共和理想是德国人最真实的表达。随着“德国”被理解为人民精神和意志的自由表达,犹太人对德国的归属被视为“德国精神”物化的目的论过程的结果,表现在共和国。因此,这篇文章阅读了魏玛共和国时期中央政府的历史,不仅是关于它对犹太社区的作用,而且至关重要的是,它是旨在发展和保卫德意志共和国的自由主义运动之一。
Emancipation and Constitutional Patriotism: The Centralverein and the Weimar Republican Order
The article explores the conceptualization of Jewish emancipation and the republican order of state by activists of the Central Association of German Citizens of the Jewish Faith (Centralverein deutscher Staatsbürger jüdischen Glaubens, CV) in the Weimar years. It argues that activists adopted a liberal conception of constitutional patriotism and involved themselves in a republican nation-building project that went substantially beyond its traditional tasks of defence (Abwehr) and enlightenment (Aufklärung) against antisemitism. This entailed rallying fellow republicans to the defence of the order of state, advocating for the spirit of the constitution and rule of law and actively participating in the development of the republican society. In doing so, the CV rethought what it meant to be ‘German’ and came to understand it in a distinctively republican form, arguing that identification with the constitution and the republican ideals were the truest expression of Germanness. As ‘German’ came to be understood as the free expression of the people’s spirit and will, Jews’ belonging to Germany was seen as the result of a teleological process of the materialization of the ‘German spirit’, manifested in the republic. The article therefore reads the history of the Centralverein during the Weimar Republic not only in regard to its role for the Jewish community but crucially as one of the liberal movements that aimed to develop and defend the German republic.
