Rosenzweig and Heidegger: Between Judaism and German Philosophy — Peter E. Gordon
Peter Gordon places Rosenzweig and Heidegger within a shared German philosophical setting.
He rereads The Star of Redemption alongside the questions that shaped Heidegger’s work.
Temporality, finitude, and existence connect their responses to inherited philosophical systems.
The comparison also considers Rosenzweig’s relationships to Hegel and neo-Kantian thought.
Gordon examines intellectual affinities while keeping their profound political and religious differences in view.
