"Both Fromm’s socio-psychological thinking and his humanism are already observable in his dissertation. Until now, these origins have received little acknowledgement in English-language Fromm research; with the present translation of the dissertation into English by Miranda Siegel—100 years after it was written—this deficiency should finally be remedied. Fromm’s work on the sociological function of the Jewish Law in Diaspora Judaism is not only an illuminating document for anyone who seriously studies Fromm’s later writings and the sources of his thought: it is also a striking example of Fromm’s reading of Jewish history" Rainer Funk
