This book aims to interpret 'Jewish Philosophy' in terms of the
Marrano phenomenon: as a conscious clinamen of philosophical forms
used in order to convey a 'secret message' which cannot find an
open articulation. The Marrano phenomenon is employed here, in the
domain of modern philosophical thought, where an analogous tendency
can be seen: the clash of an open idiom and a secret meaning, which
transforms both the medium and the message. Focussing on key
figures of late modern, twentieth century Jewish thought; Hermann
Cohen, Gershom Scholem, Walter Benjamin, Franz Rosenzweig, Theodor
Adorno, Ernst Bloch, Jacob Taubes, Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques
Derrida, this book demonstrates how their respective manners of
conceptualization swerve from the philosophical mainstream along
the Marrano 'secret curve.' Analysing their unique contribution to
the 'unfinished project of modernity,' including issues of the
future of the Enlightenment, modern nihilism and post-secular
negotiation with religious heritage, this book will be essential
reading for students and researchers with an interest in Jewish
Studies and Philosophy.
