Abstract
Chaim Zhitlowsky a Jewish intellectual who, stemming from a religious orthodox family, experienced himself the modernisation process of Eastern European Jews in it's fundamental elements. Being an assimilated, Russian revolutionary, returning to Judaism now understood as a secular cultural nationalism, studying as political emigrant in Switzerland and following the defeat of the Russian revolution in 1905-07 relocating to the USA where he influenced the Jewish intellectual discussion for several decades working as a journalist and publisher. His history of philosophy is based on a tradition informed by German-speaking philosophy, further integrating contemporary Russian philosophy and later Anglo-American approaches. His history of philosophy, the German translation of his Leibniz chapter thereof being presented here, is part of an attempt to establish a Jewish cultural nation independent from religion and based on the Yiddish language. His aim being to present the continuity of philosophical thought as well as the position of individual authors and systems in the broader context.
