Franz Rosenzweig's the New Thinking - Paperback

by Alan Udoff (Editor), Barbara E. Galli (Editor), Alan Udoff (Translator)

Here, for the first time, faithfully translated in their entirety, are the principal texts for which Franz Rosenzweig initiated the project that would become The Star of Redemption.

Included in the volume are Rosenzweig's essay, "The New Thinking;" four important reviews of The Star of Redemption, and his 1917 letter to Rudolf Ehrenberg, the "germcell" of The Star.

Barbara E. Galli 's own essay touches on the basic concepts of Rosenzweig's work, while pointing to and going beyond his scholarship. Alan Udoff's provocative closing essay situates Rosenzweig's thought in the context of modem and postmodern philosophical concerns and suggests a new direction in assessing the philosopher's theological accomplishment.

This volume is a perfect guide for students of the great philosopher and for a broader general audience

seeking an introduction to Rosenzwieg's ideas.
