Original softcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. 128 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed, overall very good and clean. / Leicht berieben, insgesamt sehr gut und sauber. - Franz Rosenzweig is one of the greatest contributors to Jewish philosophy in the twentieth century and, with Martin Buber and Abraham Heschel, is one of the Jewish thinkers most widely read by Christians. On Jewish Learning collects essays, speeches, and letters that express Rosenzweigs desire to reconnect the profound truths of Judaism with the lives of ordinary people. An assimilated Jew and scholar of German philosophy, Rosenzweig was on the point of conversion to Christianity when the experience of a Yom Kippur service in 1913 brought him back to Judaism, and he began to study with philosopher Hermann Cohen. Seeking how to be an observant Jew in the modern world, Rosenzweig refused to reduce the traditions of Jewish law to mere rituals, customs, and folkways. His aim for himself and for others was to find Judaism by living it, and to live it by knowing it more deeply. - Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1929) helped establish Das Freie Jüdische Lehrhaus (Free House of Jewish Learning) in Frankfurt-am-Main. His German translation, with Martin Buber, of the Hebrew Bible is considered the finest since Martin Luthers. He also published a translation and commentary on the work of medieval Hebrew poet Yehuda Halevi. Stricken with progressive paralysis in 1922, Rosenzweig continued to produce scholarship during many years of his illness. His books available in English include his most influential work, The Star of Redemption. ISBN 9780299182342 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 153. Artikel-Nr. 1183035
