There are several characteristics of Nathan Rotenstreich's work
which are striking: his thoughtful writings are both subtle and
deep; they are steeped in his critical appreciation of other
thinkers of this and preceding times, an appreciation which is
formed by his learned understanding of the history of philosophy;
and with all this, he has an original and independent intelligence.
He has from time to time brought his skills to bear upon historical
scholarship, most notably perhaps in his book Between Past and
Present (1958, 2nd edition, 1973), his interpretive essays in the
philosophy of history Philosophy, History and Politics (1976) and
his scholarly work concerned with the influence of historical
development upon modern Jewish thought, Tradition and Reality
(1972). Related to these, and equally works of that philosophical
humanity which Professor Rotenstreich embodies, are his Humanism in
the Contemporary Era (1963), Spirit and Man: An Essay on Being and
Value (1963) and Reflection and Action (1983). Rotenstreich
combines both the naturalistic and the phenomenological attitudes
in an interesting and illuminating way through the full spectrum of
issues in the philosophy of history in this century. Surely he sets
boundaries to any doubtful extrapolation. Not only would he bring
the understanding of history back from those who claim it as only a
positive science but equally would he prevent the transformation of
that understanding into merely speculative inquiry.
