Moshe Zuckermann (2009)

Moshe Zuckermann ( Hebrew משה צוקרמן, born 1949 in Tel Aviv ) is an Israeli sociologist and professor of history and philosophy at Tel Aviv University . Since 2009 he has been the scientific director of the Sigmund Freud Private Foundation in Vienna .

Life

Zuckermann was born in Israel as the son of Polish-Jewish Holocaust survivors and grew up in Tel Aviv. His parents emigrated to Germany ( Frankfurt am Main ) in 1960 , where Zuckermann also studied. At the age of 21 he returned to Israel from Frankfurt. There he taught at the Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Ideas at Tel Aviv University. From February 2000 to 2005 he headed the Institute for German History at Tel Aviv University. In 2006/2007 he was visiting professor at the Institute for Jewish-Christian Research (IJCF) at the University of Lucerne .

Political position

Zuckermann is considered a critic of Israeli politics and society. Politically, he is left-wing and advocates a confederation between Israel and an independent state of Palestine as a long-term solution to the conflict.

“There has to be at least a symbolic recognition of the right of return, which de facto means that between 250,000 and 400,000 Palestinians are allowed to return to the heartland of Israel in the course of family reunification. The others will be repatriated in the new Palestinian state or in the countries in which they are today. Using the money that really has to flow from the West. From my perspective, this can only be an interim solution, after all I am neither a nationalist nor a budgetist. I am of the opinion that Israel and the Palestinian state can only exist in the long term in confederative structures, which incidentally are initially only conceivable under capitalist conditions. "

Zuckermann is a supporter of critical theories and gives regular lectures on relevant topics. He supports the animal rights movement and rejects speciesism in the spirit of the "reconciliation of man and nature" .

In addition to his work as a non-fiction author, Zuckermann regularly contributes to radio, television and print media such as taz , Tagesspiegel , die Junge Welt , their music magazine Melodie und Rhythmus , Frankfurter Rundschau , Die Zeit , den Freitag , KenFM or the magazine represented by iz3w .
