Contents:
The eradication of alien worship: Rosenzweig as ethical monotheist -- Miracles and martyrs, ethics and hermeneutics: idolatry from Mendelssohn to Rosenzweig -- The philosophical import of carnal Israel: hermeneutics and the structure of Rosenzweig's The star of redemption -- Risky images: Rosenzweig's aesthetic theory and Jewish uncanniness -- The problem of translation: risking the present for the sake of the past -- Risking religion: Christian idolatry -- Risking politics: Jewish idolatry -- After Israel: Rosenzweig's philosophy of risk reconsidered -- The future of monotheism.
Summary: Although Franz Rosenzweig is arguably the most important Jewish philosopher of the twentieth century, his thought remains little understood. Here, Leora Batnitzky argues that Rosenzweig's redirection of German-Jewish ethical monotheism anticipates and challenges contemporary trends in religious studies, ethics, philosophy, anthropology, theology, and biblical studies. This text, which captures the hermeneutical movement of Rosenzweig's corpus, is the first to consider the full import of the cultural criticism articulated in his writings on the modern meanings of art, language, ethics, and natio.
