Die Wa(h)re Geschichte und ihre Erkenntnis: Jörn Rüsens Historik im Verhör kritisch-dialektischer Theorie

Philipp McLean, Jörg van Norden (Hrsg.), Geschichte als Kritik. Wochenschau Verlag, Frankfurt am Main, 2025

After a lifelong preoccupation with this very subject, the renowned German historian Jörn Rüsen has outlined a theory of history as academic discipline and practice in 2013 which has been widely acknowledged within the field. In this paper, I put its far-reaching claims of, inter alia, finding the historical truth and illuminating historical reason under the microscope of Critical Theory. By criticizing the immanent contradictions of Rüsens proclaimed historical method, its epistemological misconceptions are exposed as being deeply susceptible to ideology, marketed as “true story”. In the end, potential cornerstones of a Critical Theory of history are raised.

Judenfeindschaft und Gefühl: Emotionsreflexion als notwendige methodische Ergänzung antisemitismuskritischer Bildung | Feeling Jew-Hatred: Emotion Reflection as a Necessary Methodological Supplement to anti-Semitism-critical Education

Aschkenas. Zeitschrift für Geschichte und Kultur der Juden, 2022

In schools as well, antisemitic acts are becoming increasingly aggressive and expressible. To combat and prevent Jew-hatred has been the ongoing commitment of antisemitism-critical education. Nevertheless, a (critical) theory-driven insight into the functionality of antisemitism raises why the current educational practice that can be stated as merely imparting knowledge and facts is not sufficient but, urgently, must be supplemented by a self-related and emotion-reflective approach developed in this paper in order to be able to achieve more sustainable success on the educational level. The need to deeper reflect on emotions and the subconsciousness as major roots of antisemitism leads the author to the proposal of specific dialogical-introspective methods, which will be critically contextualized in the end.
