Reason and Revelation before Historicism - Strauss and Fackenheim (Hardcover, New)

Can contemporary religion, and particularly Judaism, exist without
being informed by history? This question was debated in 1940s New
York by two German refugees who later rose to prominence - Leo
Strauss, one of the twentieth century's most significant political
philosophers, and Emil L. Fackenheim, an important post-Holocaust
Jewish theologian. There has been little consensus, however, on the
definitive meaning of their work. Reason and Revelation before
Historicism, the first full-length comparison of Strauss and
Fackenheim,places the informal teacher and student in conversation
alongside sections of their analyses of notable thinkers. Sharon
Portnoff suggests that both saw historicism as the nexus of the
intersection and tension between philosophy and religion and raised
the possibility of the persistence of the permanent in the modern
world. Portnoff illuminates our understanding of Strauss's
relationship with Judaism, Fackenheim's oft-overshadowed great
philosophical depth, and the function and character of Jewish
thought in a secular, post-Holocaust world.
