"La pensée d'un homme est avant tout sa nostalgie"


I feel that maybe we're getting bogged down in semantics. Perhaps I shouldn't have used terms like maximalist and minimalist, although redactor seems to refer fairly unambiguously and uncontentiously to someone who selects or adapts sources in order to produce a new account. To address your substantive point: I'm not asking for non-minimalist references to be excluded, (although I do feel it would help if academic accreditation could be specified). I'm simply suggesting a structure, and a use of tenses, for articles on historical figures, that enables the reader to understand the evidential basis of what is being put forwards. Is there anything 'soviet' about that?

Texts about Jewish identity were invited, in 1958, by Ben-Gurion from 50 intellectuals - rabbis, writers, scientists and lawyers -, from the Diaspora and Israel, representative of the principal streams of contemporary Jewish thought. See here . Professor Ben Rafael has sought to draw together what they had in common, not to express Ben Gurion's own conclusion.
