Zunz took no large share in Jewish reform, but never lost faith in the regenerating power of " science " as applied to the traditions and literary legacies of the ages.
Zunz was always interested in politics, and in 1848 addressed many public meetings.
Throughout his early and married life he was the champion of Jewish rights, and he did not withdraw from public affairs until 1874, the year of the death of his wife Adelhei Beermann, whom he had married in 1822.

 Leopold Zunz Biography / Biography of Leopold Zunz Main Biography
Leopold Zunz was born at Lippe, Detmold, on Aug. 10, 1794.
Zunz was a direct product of the "Century of Lights," the 18th century, and of the civil and intellectual enlightenment and enfranchisement which Moses Mendelssohn and others made possible.
Zunz and Mendelssohn were only two of a group of writers and thinkers in the 19th and 18th centuries who fought for a greater liberalism within Judaism and between Judaism and Christianity.

Zunz's book is a valuable and provocative, if not always convincing, contribution to understanding the role of the social sciences in the United States in the twentieth century.
Zunz's intention is not simply to offer a triumphalist account of American success and hegemony; dissenting voices, such as that of Theodore Adorno, Frankfurt theorist and critic of American consumer society, are given a hearing in the book.
Another problem with Zunz's book is that he does not adequately deal with the manner in which "grass-roots" movements such as the CIO union movement of the 1930s and the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s had an impact on the projects, concepts, and knowledge formulated by managerial and social scientific elites.

Remarkably, Zunz has laid the ground rules in this respect without ever specifying them and that with some minor corrections and extensions his rulings still stand, no matter how much the image of the different historical items that he had studied was altered as the field has progressed.
On this, too, Zunz had an opinion: his criticism was as inoffensive as he could make it and scarcely ever of rituals, and though he did favor reforms, he considered only marginal ones, and on the strict condition that they do not threaten Jewish unity.
After three introductory chapters of Zunz' text, the opening of his fourth chapter divides all commentaries to two: ones part is on edicts-attempts to clarify obscure legal or ritual texts, translate legal terms, etc. He intended to preset this part as uncritically as he could.

Zunz, who was one of the fathers of Judische Wissenschaft or the "Science of Judaism", wrote a treatise suited to a scholarly journal.
Zunz's scholarly work began in 1817 when he did research on the Sefer ha-Ma'alot of Shem Tov ben Joseph Falaquera (for this research work he received the degree of doctor of philosophy in 1821 at the University of Halle) and wrote Etwas ueber die rabbinische Literatur (1818).
Zunz, who was then very close to the spirit of religious reform, was invited to deliver sermons in the new synagogue in Berlin beginning in May 1820, and in August 1821 he was appointed preacher there, resigning a year later in disappointment with his congregation.

He first worked as a lay preacher for Reform congregations and in 1819 was a cofounder of the Society for Jewish Culture and Science and in 1823 became editor of the outstanding journal of Jewish studies, Zeitschrift fuer die Wissenschaft des Judentums.
When a Reform temple was closed down by the authorities on the grounds that preaching in the vernacular was against Jewish tradition, Zunz wrote his classic Sermons of the Jews, which showed the antiquity of vernacular preaching.

Zunz became the most prominent Jewish historian of the period, devoting himself to the research of Jewish literature, as well as Jewish contributions to the natural sciences and the development of technology, on which he wrote extensively.
Zunz' Encyclopedia of Jewish Science was conceived as a parallel to the Encyclopedia of Classical Sciences taught by his professor August Boeckh, with whom he studied Plato's Republic at the University of Berlin.
In the early 1840's, Zunz wrote several memoranda on Jewish emancipation and the role of the rabbinate, and, in 1845, he was chosen to head a delegation to the Berlin Ministries of Religion and Interior, to discuss these and other matters with the government.

Perhaps it avoided the profane incredulity; perhaps it thought that the secret one was a bond between her and the absentee.
From the previous dawn, she had often dreamed herself, directing the firm revolver, forcing to the miserable one to confess the miserable fault and exposing the intrepid stratagem that would allow the Justice of God to prevail over human justice.

 zunz heather review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Taylor tackles the massive influence of "dependency theory" in the context of Latin American history, and despite his emphasis on politics and the structural divisions of society, he convincingly demonstrates that the state, governments, class, and ethnicity "are relationships not things" and must be described as processes that vary over time.
Tucker attributes this both to the conspicuous infancy of social history as a methodological approach to the Middle East and to the persistence of latent Orientalism in the West.
As far as the United States, Zunz believes that the "big" structures have been well documented, and that there is already a proliferation of monographs on discrete historical moments, that it is time to turn toward a higher level of analysis and a broader scope of inquiry by integrating the two "sides".

 Amazon.ca: Books: Why the American Century?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Separating the idea of the "American century" from the "Pax Americana," Zunz argues that Americans started the century with "two large but unfinished projects": the creation of a continent-wide industrial economy and the expansion of democratic institutions within their own population.
These were the goals that the U.S. then exported (most notably to Japan), but the "enlarged scale of their operations" abroad also furthered both projects at home.
Zunz (history, Univ. of Virginia) has written an intriguing account of "the ways big business, government, and the expanding sector of higher education built a partnership in the late 19th century and early 20th to engineer and manage a new America." This new America, he says, represented a kind of "export model" that promised...

In Why the American Century?, being published by the University of Chicago Press, Zunz, a social historian, argues that much of America's international clout came from the creation of a science-based economy and a large, middle-class, consumer-oriented "center," however flawed by discrimination it was.
The first was the creation of an industrial economy, which involved inventing technologies for exploiting America's natural resources, building a large industrial plant, relocating millions of workers to industrial locales, investing in research and devising organizational strategies to improve the ways Americans produced national and individual wealth.
It was this reorganization of knowledge, not merely the power of capital accumulation, that gave Americans the means both to generate prosperity at home and expand their presence into the world, Zunz says.
