Once a prophet of critical, "other" thought, Heidegger has now for
many become the epitome of the unthinkable, in the light of the
Black Notebooks controversy. The unthinkable here is anti-Semitism.
The encounter between Heidegger and the Jews has thus come to
signify - very much in the spirit of Heidegger's own anti-Judaism -
the end of thought. The present volume resists this view by
positing not only Heidegger but also the Jewish people as
representing thought. The encounter between Heidegger and various
traditions of Jewish thought is conceived here as a conversation
inter alia, an exchange between real or perceived "others": others
to the philosophical tradition, to mainstream modernity, to Western
Christian metaphysics, to each other, and even to themselves. The
conversation takes shape in this volume as a symposium of seventeen
essays by leading scholars both of Heidegger's philosophy and of
Jewish Studies.

Following more than forty years of photographic storytelling of
Jewish life around the world, Frederic Brenner spent three years
exploring Berlin -- a stage for a vast spectrum of expressions and
performances of Judaism. In his new photographic essay he portrays
individuals -- newcomers, old timers, converts, immigrants and
others - who have made Berlin their home or are just passing
through. Via a series of fragmentary insights into this incubator
of paradox and dissonance, he reflects on conflicting narratives of
redemption and gives light to an ever so present absence. Like a
shattered mirror, these images offer a polyphonic, sometimes
bizarre and disturbing reflection of and on a topography of
displacement and estrangement in contemporary human condition, far
beyond the story of Berlin or of Jews.
