"Franz Rosenzweig's The Star of Redemption is one of the few
lasting books of our century, a work whose originality transcends
the disciplinary limits of philosophy and religion, and which must
be read by anyone whose concern with the meaning of daily life is
urgent and abiding". -- Maurice Natanson, Yale University
The Star of Redemption is widely recognized as a key document
modern existential thought and a significant contribution to wish
theology in the twentieth century. An affirmation of what
Rosenzweig called "the new thinking", the work ensconces common
sense in the place of abstract, conceptual philosophizing and
posits the validity of the concrete, individual human being over
that of "humanity" in general.
Fusing philosophy and theology, it assigns both Judaism and
Christianity distinct but equally important roles in the spiritual
structure of the world, and finds in both biblical religions
approaches toward a comprehension of reality.
Resuming the anti-Hegelian revolt of Schopenhauer, Feuerbach,
Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche, Rosenzweig repudiates the attempt by
German idealism to reduce to one essence the three elements of
reality: God, the world, and man. In The Star of Redemption, he
sets forth a system in which these elements are shown to be
independent, irreducible from each other, and linked through the
"paths" of creation, revelation, and redemption.
