Emil Fackenheim was the last in a long line of Jewish philosophers
to emerge from Germany, the modern center of Western philosophy,
following Moses Mendelssohn, Leo Baeck, and Martin Buber. In this
revealing book, David Patterson explores Fackenheim's rigorous
pursuit of a philosophical response to the tragedy of the
Holocaust. Fackenheim's writing sheds light on the tensions between
Jewish thinking and German philosophy, illustrating how elements of
the latter were used by the Nazis to justify Jewish annihilation.
In addition, he emphasizes the important implications of defining
Jewish philosophy as its own entity, separate from the tenets of
the Jewish cultural tradition.
