In this book Alexander Garcia Duttman explores and expands the works of Heidegger, Rosenzweig, Adorno, Benjamin, and Derrida. Out of his very fresh and pointed re-reading, he uncovers a peculiar correspondence of obsessions, interests, and priorities between these diverse twentieth century philosophies. And from these discoveries Duttman details a singular philosophical theory of memory and promise.Duttman's methodology is as groundbreaking as his discoveries. Alan Udoff writes: "This is not an exposition in the conventional sense: a scholarly, historical report, with some attempt at criticism. Rather, it is at every turn a thinking through of certain texts, a thinking that, in putting questions to the texts ... reveals or releases what is ... stored in those texts". Duttman's questions are so philosophically and theologically penetrating that the reader is set out in new direction of thinking.While Duttman's book helps the reader achieve a new understanding of the gift of language in the works of Adorno, Benjamin, Heidegger, and Rosenzweig, his study also is fraught with implications for reading Derrida, Deleuze, Levinas and Lyotard.

These essays offer a glimpse into the cultural and social dimensions of Franz Rosenzweig's thought - an aspect of his philosophy that has too often been ignored by an over-emphasis on his status as a religious thinker.

Demonstrates how the wisdom of the past - found in classical texts that comprise Jewish religious tradition - can forcefully address the moral perplexities of the present. The text delineates a methodology for Jewish ethics, which the author applies to a wide range of issues.

Based on the author's lectures at the Judisches Freies Lehrhaus, these essays include notes for a group of lectures of 1920, ""Faith and Knowledge"", followed by a three-part lecture series of 1922, ""The Science of God"", ""The Science of Man"", and ""The Science of World"".

Here are the principal texts for which Franz Rosenzweig initiated the project that would become The Star of Redemption. The book, with contributions from both editors, should provide a useful guide for those seeking an introduction to Rosenzweig's ideas.

This volume seeks to honour the memory and legacy of Martin Buber, one of the most illustrious members of the faculty of the Hebrew University and of the world of philosophy. The book is based on the proceedings of a conference held at the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities.

This study takes a fresh look at the influential French philosopher, arguing that Jaques Derrida cannot be fully understood without considering the Jewish dimension of his thought, and offering a re-appraisal of his work.
