A New Physiognomy of Jewish Thinking is a search for authenticity
that combines critical thinking with a yearning for heartfelt
poetics. A physiognomy of thinking addresses the figure of a life
lived where theory and praxis are unified. This study explores how
the critical essays on music of German-Jewish thinker, Theodor
Wiesengrund Adorno (1903-1969) necessarily accompany the downfall
of metaphysics. By scrutinizing a critical juncture in modern
intellectual history, marked in 1931 by Adorno's founding of the
Frankfurt Institute for Social Research, neglected applications of
Critical Theory to Jewish Thought become possible. This study
proffers a constructive justification of a critical standpoint,
reconstructively shown how such ideals are seen under the
genealogical proviso of re/cognizing their original meaning.
Re/cognition of A New Physiognomy of Jewish Thinking redresses
neglected applications of Negative Dialectics, the poetics of God,
the metaphysics of musical thinking, reification in Zionism, the
transpoetics of Physics and Metaphysics, as well as correlating
Aesthetic Theory to Jewish Law (halakhah).
