Research on Jewish identity and world-citizenship
Strenger was interested in modern Jewish identity, particularly in modern Jewish Universalism, and has written about it in a variety of publications.[21] In The Fear of Insignificance (2011) he has worked out a psychology of world-citizenship.[22] To what extent are humans able to widen their ability for empathy and concern beyond the culture of their upbringing? He claimed that the development of modern Jewish Universalism provides an interesting paradigm for this identity, and has portrayed Sigmund Freud, Hannah Arendt, Isaiah Berlin,[23] Leo Strauss and Philip Roth[24] as examples. In his Israel, Einführung in ein schwieriges Land (Suhrkamp 2011), he has argued that Jewish Universalist ethics is currently in conflict with dominant nationalist tendencies in Israeli politics.[25] In Freud's Legacy in the Global Era (2016) Strenger has further developed his analysis of world citizenship through his concept of "New Cosmopolitans",[26][27] and has elaborated on Freud as a paradigm of Jewish Universalist identity.
