Description
Book SynopsisDrawing together two critical moments in the history of European Jewry - its entrance as a participant in the Enlightenment project of religious and political reform and its involvement in the traumatic upheavals brought on by the Great War - this book offers a reappraisal of the intersection of culture, politics, and theology in the modern world.
Trade ReviewThis study testifies to the renewed interest in Franz Rosenzweig's theological work...Recommended.
---—S.T. Katz, Boston University“A bold and timely examination of the project of Jewish Modernity and modern Jewish thought, this study signals an important move to
contextualize Mendelssohn’s late 18th-century Enlightenment thought and Rosenzweig’s early 20th-century philosophy as critical moments of a theoretical trajectory that highlights the larger philosophical agenda their thought advances."
---—Willi Goetschel, University of Toronto“Illuminates Rosenzweig’s work in detail in relation to Moses
Mendelssohn, F. H. Jacobi, Karl Reinhold, the early Hegel, Hannah
Arendt, and Stanley Cavell. A fascinating and informative read."
