Hegel paired Judaism and Islam under shared monotheistic servitude and sublimity

Evidence

Comparing the incomparable, as well, but bringing the three monotheistic religions together with the question of subjection and “faithful resignation,” was Montesquieu’s great admirer, the “Christian,” as opposed to “Kant the Jew,” Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Hegelian comparisons, and those in particular, are, of course, numerous and complex (moreover, they obviously do not exhaust what Hegel has to say on religion and on other religions). To the extent that he does compare Islam and Judaism in the context of a thought of”faithful resignation,” however, Hegel, like both Kant and Montesquieu, renews the question of subjection and of the Jew, the Arab. — Gil Anidjar, The Jew, the Arab, 631
