Abstract

In "The Star of Redemption", written at the end and after World War I and published in 1921, Franz Rosenzweig presented an epoch-making Jewish-inspired philosophy of religion. In three steps, each with three chapters or "books," Rosenzweig unfolds in it his view of God, the world, and man, their interrelationship, and their contribution and role in the redemption of the world. In this introduction, young and old Rosenzweig scholars take readers by the hand chapter by chapter, book by book. They lead safely through Rosenzweig's argumentation, making sometimes difficult lines of thought comprehensible and plausible. The chapter introductions open up reliable access for interested readers and new perspectives for connoisseurs.

Summary

Introduction

In many respects Franz Rosenzweig is the antithesis of Baruch Spinoza. First, these two philosophers live at different ends of the so-called “modern” age of Jewish philosophy. Rosenzweig, trained as a modern German intellectual in the most modern and German of philosophers, George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, turns against that tradition to devote his life to recapturing traditional Jewish values He does so both in his writings, especially in his magnum opus, The Star of Redemption, a word painting of all of human history which functions for him as a prolegomena for the direction of his life, viz. The directions of their intellectual and spiritual lives are opposed Spinoza begins his youthful education at home in his synagogue in Amsterdam as a spiritually committed Jew, who learns the Hebrew Scriptures as well as rabbinics, medieval Jewish philosophy, and Kabbalah..
