About Moses Hess

Moses Hess was a German-Jewish philosopher, a writer on socialism, and in later life, a forerunner of the political movement that became known as Zionism. His intellectual journey included significant contributions to the early development of socialist theory, and he was a close collaborator and an important influence on Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. In his later life, Hess's focus shifted towards Jewish nationalism, culminating in his seminal 1862 work, Rome and Jerusalem.
