Buber’s Theopolitics as an Act of Resistance
This study claims that only by revisiting Buber’s entire oeuvre does one fully grasp his position on the relation between politics, religion, and ethics. I argue that Buber’s writings in the thirties are an act of resistance against national socialism and that his consistent political resistance before, in, and after this period appears in many of his writings. Buber was as a political thinker, not only in his exegesis, but also in his dialogical…
What Do a Jew, a Hindu and a Buddhist Mean by “One”? Trans-Different Reflections
In this study, I analyze how reflections on the “one” appear in different cultures. Thoughts on the “one” in several worldviews show similarities but also dissimilarities that should not be neglected. More specifically, I juxtapose Arthur Green’s neo-mystic “oneness” with Anantanand Rambachan’s Hindu view on the one and the many and with Thich Nhat Hanh’s insights on inter-being and on “one” and “many” as mere mental constructs. I clarify what ea…
Thich Nhat Hanh's Naturalism and Nondualism in a Trans-Different Perspective
The purpose of this study is to describe Thich Nhat Hanh's naturalism and nondualism and to situate his views in a "trans-different" perspective. I ask whether his thoughts are compatible with other worldviews that work with the notion of justice. I first describe Nhat Hanh's attitude towards nature. I then demonstrate how his non-separation from nature paves the way for an interconnectedness with all and how his nonduality leads him to a univers…
"Introduction to the Special Issue "Nonviolence and Religion
Since the terrorist attacks of 9/11 in 2001, many scholarly debates have focused on the relationship between religion and violence
Oneness and Mending the World in Arthur Green's Neo-Hasidism
This article describes and discusses Green's mystical neo-Hasidic thought, his reshaping of Judaism and his combination of scholarship and existential engagement. I showcase how his vision on the Oneness of all and on the unity in plurality leads him to an appreciation of evolution and to the promotion of love energy in all, to ecological care and to a deep concern for what happens in Israel and Palestine
The Logic of Dialogue and Dialogical Theology
In this article, I introduce and develop a logic of dialogue and reciprocity as distinguished from a logic of reflection. I argue that interreligious dialogue is not only desirable, but logically necessary for two reasons: one, the logic of dialogue precedes the logic of reflection and, two, the intersubjective dialogue is a precondition for the dialogue with the Ultimate Reality. I proceed in three stages. First, I problematize the terms identit…
Gandhi and Buber on Individual and Collective Transformation
A virtual encounter between Buber and Gandhi articulates where they differ and where they touch common ground. They developed a transformative thinking that opened up the individual and collective ego to others. Only recently have scholars paid full attention to Buber's theo-political thinking. Gandhi's article "The Jews" made his way of thinking irrelevant for many Zionists over the decades. The relative neglect of Buber's political thought and …
Gandhi's View on Judaism and Zionism in Light of an Interreligious Theology
This article describes Gandhi's view on Judaism and Zionism and places it in the framework of an interreligious theology. In such a theology, the notion of "trans-difference" appreciates the differences between cultures and religions with the aim of building bridges between them. It is argued that Gandhi's understanding of Judaism was limited, mainly because he looked at Judaism through Christian lenses. He reduced Judaism to a religion without c…
The Non-Violent Liberation Theologies of Abraham Joshua Heschel and Mahatma Gandhi
This article explores how Gandhi and Heschel developed a liberation theology that was rooted in their religious praxis, which implied an active, non-violent struggle for the rights of the oppressed. A first section discusses what separates the two spiritual giants. A second section describes the affinities between them. The third, main section describes how they formulated a non-violent liberation theology that aims at the liberation of all
A Virtual Dialogue between Gandhi and Levinas
Mahatma Gandhi and Emmanuel Levinas have much in common. They interpret religion in a radical ethical way and develop an ethical hermeneutics of religious sources. Levinas's thoughts on a holy history, not to be confused with history, are comparable with Gandhi's swaraj as the spiritual independence and self-transformation of India. Escaping war logics, they maintain a "beyond the state" in the state and insert ethics in politics. Yet, Gandhi's e…
Reading Jewish Theology and World Religions from the Perspective of a Dialogical Theology from a Jewish Vantage Point
Religionssensibilität in der Sozialen Arbeit
Mit Blick auf die aktuellen gesellschaftspolitischen, medialen, alltagsbezogenen Diskurse lässt sich beobachten: Wir erleben eine Renaissance von Religion, die vom Raum des Persönlichen und Privaten in den Raum des Öffentlichen und Kollektiven wandert. Religion wird öffentlich wieder verstärkt wahrgenommen und ist vielfach Bezugspunkt individueller und kollektiver Anerkennungsforderungen sowie Sinnsuchbewegungen. Diese gesellschaftliche Präsenz d…
Interreligious Theology
This book is the first greater attempt to construct a dialogical theology from a Jewish point of view. It contributes to an emerging new theology that promotes the interrelatedness of religions in which encounter, openness, hospitality and permanent learning are central. The monograph is about the self and the other, inner and outer, own and strange; about borders and crossing borders, and about the sublime activities of passing and translating. …
Between Heschel and Buber
Judaism and Philosophy
Levinas’s work consists of two types of writing: one confessional and Jewish and one professional and philosophical. In this article, I argue that the two styles of writing are intimately interconnected. Philosophy is enriched by the inclusion of something that was forgotten and repressed within the limits of an immanent, self-enclosed method of thinking; in conflating the two approaches, Levinas in some manner Judaizes philosophy. His “love of w…

Hellenic and Jewish in Levinas’s Writings
O artigo mostra que o “grego” está presente no pensamento “judaico” de Levinas e que os escritos “gregos” possuem uma dimensão “judaica”: Yafet é recebido nos alojamentos de Shem e vice-versa. A tese aqui formulada é que os escritos confessionais desenvolvem-se paralelamente aos escritos profissionais. Embora o discurso seja marcadamente diferente em cada uma das obras, e apesar de Levinas não tentar harmonizálos ou conciliá-los, ele se esforça p…

La philosophie de Lévinas, sacrificielle et naïve ? S'agit-il d'un drame ? À propos d'un ouvrage récent de Daniel Sibony
Le présent article est une réflexion, à partir du récent livre de Sibony, sur la question de savoir s'il faut développer une éthique de l'être et du partage plutôt qu 'une éthique trop utopique du don. Nous montrons que la philosophie de Lévinas, loin d'être sacrificielle et naïve, est une philosophie de la responsabilité qui exige justice et égalité. L'éthique de l'autre avec sa rupture de l'être et son discours sur l'absent est préférable à l'é…
