In the wake of the Dreyfus affair and the Shoah, many French
intellectuals have maintained rich and complex relationships with
Judaism, beyond as well as within the religious dimension. Whether
they approach it via history, philosophy, biblical studies or
sociology, or following a personal itinerary, many contemporary
intellectuals are deeply involved in Jewish culture. Interviewed at
length by Elisabeth Weber, this volume presents the meditations of
seven well-known French thinkers on the special relations of their
own intellectual pursuit to Judaism. As memory or as the place of
"circumfession" (in Jacques Derrida's words), as the symbol of the
"unrepresentable" (Jean-Francois Lyotard) or as the witness,
according to Emmanuel Levinas, to a "biblical humanity," Judaism is
continually engaged in renewing and displacing contemporary
thought. The volume includes interviews with: Pierre Vidal-Naquet,
Jacques Derrida, Rita Thalmann, Emmanuel Levinas, Leon Poliakov,
Jean-Francois Lyotard, and Luc Rosenzweig.
