Rosenzweig And Heidegger Between Judaism And German Philosophy - Peter Gordon

Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1929) Is Widely Regarded Today As One Of The Most Original And Intellectually Challenging Figures Within The So-called Renaissance Of German-jewish Thought In The Weimar Period. The Architect Of A Unique Kind Of Existential Theology, And An Important Influence Upon 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 Rosenzweigs Thought To The German Philosophical Horizon In Which It First Took Shape.
