In this book, Daniel Herskowitz examines the rich, intense, and
persistent Jewish engagement with one of the most important and
controversial modern philosophers, Martin Heidegger.
Contextualizing this encounter within wider intellectual, cultural,
and political contexts, he outlines the main patterns and the
diverse Jewish responses to Heidegger. Herskowitz shows that
through a dialectic of attraction and repulsion, Jewish thinkers
developed a version of Jewishness that sought to offer the way out
of the overall crisis plaguing their world, which was embodied, as
they saw it, in Heidegger's life and thought. Neither turning a
blind eye to Heidegger's anti-Semitism nor using it as an excuse
for ignoring his philosophy, they wrestled with his existential
analytic and what they took to be its religious, ethical, and
political failings. Ironically, Heidegger's thought proved itself
to be fertile ground for re-conceptualizing what it means to be
Jewish in the modern world.
