Rosenzweig and Heidegger: between Judaism and German philosophy.
Published by Berkeley: University of California Press, 2005, 2005
First Edition
PAPERBACK, very good, light foxing on top foredge, otherwise attractive copy. GORDON, PETER ELI. Rosenzweig and Heidegger: between Judaism and German philosophy. Berkeley: University of California Press, 2005, 1st paperback printing number line ending in 1, xxix, 328pp., . Weimar and now, 33. - "Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1929) is widely regarded as one of the most original and intellectually challenging figures within the so-called renaissance of German-Jewish thought during the Weimar period. The architect of a unique kind of existential theology, and an important influence on such philosophers as Walter Benjamin, Martin Buber, Leo Strauss, and Emmanuel Levinas, Rosenzweig is remembered chiefly as a "Jewish thinker", often to the neglect of his broader philosophical concerns. Cutting across the artificial divide that the traumatic memory of National Socialism has drawn between German and Jewish philosophy, this book seeks to restore Rosenzweig's thought to the German philosophical horizon in which it first took shape. It is the first English-language study to explore his enduring debt to Hegel's political theory, neo-Kantianism, and life-philosophy; the book also provides a new, systematic reading of Rosenzweig's major work, The Star of Redemption." "Most of all, the book set out to explore a surprising but deep affinity between Rosenzweig's thought and that of his contemporary, the German philosopher Martin Heidegger. This book represents an attempt to bridge the forced distinction between modern Jewish thought and the history of modern German philosophy - and to show that such a distinction cannot be sustained without doing violence to both." - CONTENTS: Introduction: Germans, Jews, and the transformation of Weimar philosophy -- Toward Metaphysics: Cohen's Opus Postumum and the origins of the new thinking -- Hegel's fate: the emergence of finitude in Rosenzweig's Hegel and the State -- Beyond Metaphysics: Rosenzweig's Star (Part i) -- Redemption-in-the-world: Rosenzweig's Star (Part II) -- "Facing the wooded ridge": The Hebrew Bible in the German horizon -- "An irony in the history of spirit": Rosenzweig, Heidegger, and the Davos Disputation -- Conclusion: Germans, Jews, and the politics of interpretation. 9780520246362 ISBN 0520246365.
