Project description

This project applies sociological and anthropological methods to the First Jewish Revolt in order to overcome the deadlock in the research, which is based on the implicit use of monocausal models of explanation. The focus is on the understanding of the decline of the social order through an analytical distinction between the ethical and the political control order.
