“…In 1970, Horkheimer, who is a member of the Frankfurt School, indicated that there was a semantic battle about the relationship between religion and politics (Eitler, 2005) it was caused that critical theory supposed to be understood the role of religion was to preserve political change. Religion in his discourse considered as the social function and it was similar to Benjamin as if religion as a part of the facts of "invisible orders" to confront society with the question of the criteria for a human living (Fiorato, 2005).…”

In modern education, religion becomes a study that is not prioritized because it is transcendental. Religion subject in formal education involves ambiguity in search of learning purposes. Some countries choose to return religious studies as an option rather than a mandatory subject. This study attempts to examine the importance of religion subject in formal education. The method employs literature reviews from research reports of the model of religion subject in particular countries thus these are compared with the religion subject model in Indonesia. The results show that developed countries reform religion subjects as an optional subject, while Indonesia might recognize religion subjects in formal education even though it factually does not indicate suitability for configuring students' characters.

“…Judging from discussions of other social thinkers, Lombroso's Jewish identity merits some investigation. Debates have been engaged about what Jewishness meant relative to concepts and attitudes expressed by Marx (Berlin, 1981; Gilman, 1984) and Durkheim (Pickering, 1994; Strenski, 1997), as well as members of the Frankfurt School (Eitler, 2005; Jay, 1980; Wilcock, 2000). Most biographical accounts of Lombroso acknowledge his Jewish background, but neglect to explore what difference this might have made (Wolfgang, 1961, for example).…”

Lombroso's Jewish identity and its implications for criminology

Recovering Lombroso's Jewish identity is important for understanding the context in which he lived and worked. Italian statehood and positivist science had particular meaning relative to Jewish emancipation. Lombroso turned his back on Judaism and Jewish tradition, but interacted over the years with a circle of Jewish colleagues. Salvatore Ottolenghi, Pauline Tarnowsky, Helen Zimmern, Max Nordau and Jean Finot influenced his professional life in more than one way, as did members of his family, such as David Levi. Lombroso contributed to the defence of Jews from the surge of anti-Semitism in the late nineteenth century and he even managed a measure of critical analysis in his discussion of Jews and crime. Although he failed to overcome the prejudices and misconceptions at the centre of his outlook, the Lombroso who engaged ‘the Jewish question’ emerges as a more complicated and conflicted character than the Lombroso associated with ‘the criminal man’.
