Is commitment to God compatible with modern citizenship? In this
book, Daniel H. Weiss provides new readings of four modern Jewish
philosophers - Moses Mendelssohn, Hermann Cohen, Franz Rosenzweig,
and Walter Benjamin - in light of classical rabbinic accounts of
God's sovereignty, divine and human violence, and the embodied
human being as the image of God. He demonstrates how classical
rabbinic literature is relevant to contemporary political and
philosophical debates. Weiss brings to light striking political
aspects of the writings of the modern Jewish philosophers, who have
often been understood as non-political. In addition, he shows how
the four modern thinkers are more radical and more shaped by Jewish
tradition than has previously been thought. Taken as a whole,
Weiss' book argues for a fundamental rethinking of the relationship
between Judaism and politics, the history of Jewish thought, and
the ethical and political dynamics of the broader Western
philosophical tradition.
