Struve, Gustav (1805-1870) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) |
 | | Despite Gustav Struve's prominence in histories of the German revolutions of 1848-49 as one of the main military and political leaders of the three uprisings in Baden, and as one of Germany's most renowned radical liberal activists of the pre-revolutionary decade, his ideas about Jewish-Christian relations have never been discussed by historians. |
| | Struve was one of very few non-Jews who saw that political equality for Jews, while crucial, would be inadequate to bring an end to anti-Jewish attitudes. |
| | The ambiguities of Struve's views thus point to a larger fundamental contradiction within the Enlightenment project as it was carried forth into the nineteenth century--a persistent difficulty in coming to terms with difference, an almost irresolvable vacillation between tolerance and intolerance. |
