Book Summary
Examining romanticism in the thought of Jewish philosopher. Franz Rosenzweig, this book compares his magnum opus, Star of Redemption, with Leo Baeck's essay, "Romantic Religion, " and Friedrich Schelling's Philosophy of Art, texts representing distinct and, to a large extent, opposed interpretations of romanticism. Rosenzweig's thought was shaped by two intellectual history Germany's and Judaism's. Because romanticism had such a definitive impact on modern German writing and thought, it becomes a question whether, and to what extent, Rosenzweig, too, was a romantic. Part of the force of the question derives from the tensions sometimes noted between Jewish and romantic worldviews. In this book, author Ernest Rubinstein shows The Star of Redemption to be along the spectrum that extends between Baeck and Schelling, and thus illustrates a qualified romanticism.
