After launching his career with the 1947 publication of his
dissertation, "Occidental Eschatology," Jacob Taubes spent the
early years of his career as a fellow and then professor at various
American institutions, including Harvard, Princeton, and Columbia.
During his American years, he also gathered together a number of
prominent thinkers at his weekly seminars on Jewish intellectual
history. In the mid-60s, Taubes joined the faculty of the Free
University in West Berlin, initially as the city's first Jewish
Studies professor of the postwar period. But his work and interest
expanded beyond the boundaries of the field of Jewish Studies to
broader philosophical questions, particularly in the philosophy of
religion. A charismatic speaker and a great polemicist, Taubes had
a phenomenal ability to create interdisciplinary conversations in
the humanities, engaging scholars from philosophy, literature,
theology, and intellectual history. The essays presented here
represent the fruit of conversations, conferences, and workshops
that he organized over the course of his career.
