Abstract

In the new thinking of Franz Rosenzweig a new idea of a systematic philosophy emerges from his critique of totalitarian tendencies in the continental tradition as a result of the identity between thinking and being. A new way to conceptualize human temporal experience is at the center of the new philosophy, as well as an openness to both the Other and the world. In Rosenzweig’s speculative cosmology of The Star of Redemption we discover a new thinking of time, and of language and experience. Different worlds, times and eternities play a part in a human’s lifetime and in history. Does Rosenzweig really arrive to overcome the dualism of time and eternity, as we see it in traditional metaphysical systems? Can we make use of this new thinking for today’s problems of religious and secular tolerance?
