Jewish Messianism and the History of Philosophy contests the
ancient opposition between Athens and Jerusalem by retrieving the
concept of meontology - the doctrine of nonbeing - from the Jewish
philosophical and theological tradition. For Emmanuel Levinas, as
well as for Franz Rosenzweig, Hermann Cohen and Moses Maimonides,
the Greek concept of nonbeing (understood as both lack and
possibility) clarifies the meaning of Jewish life. These thinkers
of 'Jerusalem' use 'Athens' for Jewish ends, justifying Jewish
anticipation of a future messianic era as well as portraying the
subjects intellectual and ethical acts as central in accomplishing
redemption. This book envisions Jewish thought as an expression of
the intimate relationship between Athens and Jerusalem. It also
offers new readings of important figures in contemporary
Continental philosophy, critiquing previous arguments about the
role of lived religion in the thought of Jacques Derrida, the role
of Plato in the thought of Emmanuel Levinas and the centrality of
ethics in the thought of Franz Rosenzweig.
