"In 1958, Deutscher wrote The Non-Jewish Jew, in which he affirmed the abiding influence of Judaism on his intellectual life and politics, and considered the creative role played in history by Jewish heretics from Elisha ben Abuya to Karl Marx to Leon Trotsky, all shaped by Jewish particularist-universalist tensions.”
