Did Schleiermacher Go Overboard? Reading The Star of Redemption and The Christian Faith Together
Rosenzweig's principal interlocutors are commonly taken to be idealist and existentialist philosophers. Rosenzweig's disparaging remarks at the beginning of Part Two of The Star of Redemption regarding modern theology and its progenitor, Friedrich Schleiermacher, strengthen the view that the Star is best understood in a philosophical context. However, a close reading of the Star alongside Schleiermacher's main doctrinal work, The Christian Faith,…
Actualized Redemption in the Thought of Franz Rosenzweig and Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik
Redemption in Judaism is typically thought of as an historical and eschatological category: God has redeemed Israel in the past and will do so again in the future. Although this dipolar understanding of redemption has been dominant in Judaism, forms of actualized redemption have also found expression in which Jews, either individually or communally, secure a positive redemptive status in the present. This article focuses on the peculiar fact that…
Religion without God? Approaches to Theological Reference in Modern and Contemporary Jewish Thought
Recent scholarship on both ancient and modern Judaism has criticized the identification of Judaism as a religion. From the perspective of the modern period, what has remained unaddressed is the very peculiar religion that Jewish philosophers and theologians have formed. Numerous scholars with varying philosophical and religious commitments depict Judaism as a religion in which belief plays a negligible role and reference to God is tenuous if not …
Absolute Factuality, Common Sense, and Theological Reference in the Thought of Franz Rosenzweig
Since its publication, Franz Rosenzweig's magnum opus, The Star of Redemption , has remained a challenge to its readers and a source of wildly conflicting interpretations. It should be a matter of great consternation to Rosenzweig's readers that, shortly after his publication of the Star , he came to identify the work with common sense. This article traces the emergence of common sense within Rosenzweig's thought and undertakes a critical analysi…
The Posthumous Conversion of Ludwig Wittgenstein and the Future of Jewish (Anti-)Theology
In recent years Jewish philosophers and theologians from across the religious spectrum have claimed that the philosophy of the Austrian-born British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein is a crucial resource for understanding Jewish belief and practice. The majority of these thinkers are drawn to Wittgenstein's work on account of the diminished role that he ascribes to religious belief—a position that affirms the widespread view that theology has play…
