Proceeding from Jewish philosophy's origins in the convergence and divergence of Greek and Jewish thought and the resulting possibilities of construing Judaism and philosophy as heterogeneous or homogeneous, and ranging across the three major "ages" or linguistic matrices of Jewish philosophizing (Hellenistic, Judeo-Arabic, and Germanic), the essay describes Jewish philosophy as an unresolvable entanglement in a dialectic of heteronomy and autonomy.
Brown Judaic Studies has been publishing scholarly books in all areas of Judaic studies for forty years. Our books, many of which contain groundbreaking scholarship, were typically printed in small runs and are not easily accessible outside of major research libraries. We are delighted that with the support of a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities/Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Humanities Open Book Program, we are now able to make available, in digital, open-access, format, fifty titles from our backlist.In The Idea of Atonement in the Philosophy of Hermann Cohen (2000), Michael Zank argues that the idea of atonement serves as a key for understanding the larger philosophy of the German-Jewish philosopher Hermann Cohen . Zank situates his sensitive and wide-ranging philosophical evaluation of Cohen within the intellectual and social milieu within which Cohen wrote.This edition has a new preface and contains corrections from the original text
In zwanzig, hier zum großen Teil erstmals verö entlichten, Aufsätzen und Vorträgen stellt Michael Zank die moderne jüdische Religionsphilosophie unter das Motto einer »Apologie des Mosaismus«. Er geht dabei sowohl thematisch als auch historisch vor und zeigt, wie sich Hermann Cohen, Franz Rosenzweig, Martin Buber, Leo Strauss und andere mit dem christlichen und philosophischen Erbe Europas auseinandergesetzt haben. Er denkt außerdem darüber nach, was wir aus jenen Auseinandersetzungen heute noch lernen können. Das Buch versteht sich als eine Einführung in die jüdische Religionsphilosophie. Die Idee für dieses Buch entstand, als der Autor als Martin Buber Professor für jüdische Religionsphilosophie an der Goethe Universität Frankfurt lehrte.
