Became blind at an early age. Lecturer at the Berlin University. His detailed scholarly discussion of the Jewish question as a racial and moral one is among the most important contributions to the history of anthropology and culture in the distinction it makes between the Jews and the other Semites. Anti-Semitism refers only to the Jews, a specific branch of the Semitic race, "the most vicious minting of the entire Semitic race," and not to all the members of that race. It is Dühring's "Die Judenfrage" that has moved Theodor Herzl to study the phenomenon of the "Jewish Question" with increasing intensity, and to publish his "Der Judenstaat" five years later.
