Inhaltsangabe

Benjamin Pollock argues that Franz Rosenzweig's The Star of Redemption is devoted to the task of grasping 'the All' - the whole of what is - in the form of a system, and that it at once calls on its readers to realize in their concrete decisions, actions, and relations the very same 'All' which they can come to know.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'The book is a must-read for anybody with a serious interest in modern Jewish thought. But it should find an audience, not only among scholars and students of Jewish studies, but also among those interested in continental philosophy, post-Kantian philosophy and contemporary Christian theology. Anybody who has ever struggled with the Star, and many more who one hopes will struggle with it, will be grateful for this book.' Paul Franks, The University of Toronto

'Going against the grain of a number of dominant strands in the interpretation of Rosenzweig's Star of Redemption, especially in the last twenty years, Benjamin Pollock returns to the way in which a number of Rosenzweig's contemporaries and, Pollock claims, Rosenzweig himself understood the task of the Star: as a systematic attempt to know 'the All.' Lucidly written and meticulously researched, this book will enliven discussion not only about Rosenzweig's Star but also about the charge of philosophical thinking, broadly understood.' Leora Batnitzky, Princeton University
