By Telos Press · Tuesday, September 11, 2007 Telos Press Publishing is proud to announce the newest addition to our collection: Jihad and Jew-Hatred: Islamism, Nazism and the Roots of 9/11, by Matthias Küntzel.
This powerful and convincingly argued work traces the impact of European fascism and Nazism on Arab and Islamic activists. As Küntzel investigates the shift of global antisemitism from Nazi Germany to parts of the Arab world during and after World War II, he masterfully illustrates that antisemitism is not merely a supplementary feature of modern jihadism, but lies instead at its ideological core.
This fascinating study lays bare the antecedents of the antisemitism that runs rampant in our world today. Jihad and Jew-Hatred breaks the silence around the central role of antisemitism in Islamist terrorism.
For anyone interested in exploring the mindset of hatred that led to the crimes in New York and Washington on September 11th, 2001, this book is a must-read. For readers interested in the history of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, this book is a challenge to think outside of a narrowly European context. For everyone, this book provides crucial insight into the roots of terror that continue to threaten all of us.
Telos Press Publishing is committed to stimulating political and scholarly debate—no matter how provocative or unorthodox. Küntzel’s work rises to the challenge.
Matthias Küntzel’s Jihad and Jew-Hatred: Islamism, Nazism and the Roots of 9/11 will be released on November 1, 2007. Click here to pre-order a copy, and we will ship it to you as soon as it becomes available.

By Telos Press · Saturday, June 9, 2007 Richard Rorty, the leading American philosopher and heir to the pragmatist tradition, passed away on Friday, June 8.
He was Professor of Comparative Literature emeritus at Stanford University. In April the American Philosophical Society awarded him the Thomas Jefferson Medal. The prize citation reads: “In recognition of his influential and distinctively American contribution to philosophy and, more widely, to humanistic studies. His work redefined knowledge ‘as a matter of conversation and of social practice, rather than as an attempt to mirror nature’ and thus redefined philosophy itself as an unending, democratically disciplined, social and cultural activity of inquiry, reflection, and exchange, rather than an activity governed and validated by the concept of objective, extramental truth.”
At the awards ceremony, presenter Lionel Gossman celebrated Dr. Rorty as an advocate of “a deeply liberal, democratic, and truly American way of thinking about knowledge.” Dr. Rorty’s published works include Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature (1979), Consequences of Pragmatism (1982), Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity (1988), Objectivity, Relativism and Truth: Philosophical Papers I (1991), Essays on Heidegger and Others: Philosophical Papers II (1991), Achieving Our Country: Leftist Thought in Twentieth Century America (1998), Truth and Progress: Philosophical Papers III (1998), and Philosophy and Social Hope (2000).
