Franz Rosenzweig (1886–1929)
Author of The Star of Redemption
About the Author
Rosenzweig was born in 1886 to intellectual and assimilated parents. He studied philosophy, history, and classics. While he was at university, many of his friends and relatives converted to Christianity, and he came close to converting, until a visit to an Orthodox synagogue on the eve of Yom show more Kippur inspired him to "return" to Judaism. His doctoral thesis, Hegel and the State, was published in 1920, and he then began to devote his energies to the construction of a Jewish philosophic system. The result, The Star of Redemption (1921), has become a classic, combining German idealism, existentialism, and Jewish tradition into a complex and enduring system. In 1921 a progressive paralysis set in and, although he soon lost his mobility and power of speech, he continued his intellectual activities for seven years. Rosenzweig's wife deciphered his signals, and, among other activities, he began a new translation of the Hebrew Bible (with Martin Buber, who finished it in the 1950s), utilizing a style of German that attempted to retain the spirit of the original Hebrew.

A collection of three epistles on being Jewish outside of Israel, the challenges of assimilation and emancipation.
Parte finale e conclusione da 5 stelle. O meglio, da stella della redenzione.
Per la prima volta in Italia sono qui tradotti e raccolti tutti i saggi di Franz Rosenzweig dedicati all'educazione e alla formazione dell'uomo. Con il titolo Ebraismo, Bildung e filosofia della vita, il libro, curato da Giancarla Sola, presenta al lettore la pedagogia di Rosenzweig, filosofo ebreo-tedesco, autore del celebre volume La Stella della redenzione, nato nel 1886 e morto nel 1929 quando, lentamente, la Repubblica di Weimar si va spegnendo e le luci sinistre del nazionalsocialismo show more hitleriano lampeggiano nel cielo scuro della Germania e della Mitteleuropa. L'idea di Bildung guida l'intero volume, che si snoda attorno ai temi della fede e del sapere, della scienza e della vita, della comunità e della scuola, dell'ebraismo e dell'umanesimo. La storia della Bildung si arricchisce, così, di un suo ulteriore e fondamentale capitolo. (fonte: retro di copertina) show less
