Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1929) is one of the most significant German
Jewish philosophers of the twentieth century. Published in German
in 1920 and now finally available in English for the first time,
Hegel and the State is a major contribution to the understanding of
Hegel's political and social thought and a profound analysis of the
intellectual currents that shaped the German state in the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Through careful readings
of Hegel’s early handwritten manuscripts, Rosenzweig shows that
Hegel was wrestling with the problem of how to reconcile the
subjectivity and freedom of the individual within a community and
ultimately the political state. According to Rosenzweig, the route
out of this conundrum chosen by Hegel shaped his mature political
philosophy, where he saw the relationship between the individual
and the state as reciprocal. At a deeper level, the significance of
Hegel and the State lies in the way that Rosenzweig explains the
failure of Hegel's quasi-communitarian view of the state to emerge,
due to the authoritarian direction of the newly-unified German
state under Bismarck. Anticipating the political and moral disaster
that was to follow, Rosenzweig concludes by questioning the very
viability of any theory of the state that relies on the pillars of
bureaucratic militarism and a government-supported capitalist
business culture. With the inclusion of a Foreword by Myriam
Bienenstock and a substantial Afterword by Axel Honneth, Hegel and
the State is a ground-breaking work of early twentieth-century
philosophical and political thought. It is essential reading for
students of Hegel, German Idealism, Jewish philosophy, and the
origins of critical theory. It will also be of interest to those in
related subjects such as the history of sociology, and German and
intellectual history.
"The Double Binds of Ethics after the Holocaust" sheds new light
on the ethical repercussions of the Nazi genocide against the Jews.
Contributors focus on two key dilemmas: first, that the Holocaust
did immense harm to ethics by undermining confidence in beliefs
about the fundamental status of ethical values, including human
rights. Second, the Holocaust and subsequent genocides have
destroyed confidence that human beings will fulfill their moral
obligations better "next time." Responding to these double binds,
the contributors to this book explore what can be done in ethical
theory and practice to respond effectively to the impact of the
Holocaust and genocide. Its chapters not only assess the weakness
of ethics in standing firmly and effectively against human-made
destruction but also indicate steps of salvage and retrieval that
need to be taken if ethics is to be a significant presence in a
world still besieged by genocide and atrocity.

Two German philosophers working during the Weimar Republic in
Germany, between the two World Wars, produced seminal texts that
continue to resonate almost 100 years later. Franz Rosenzweig and
Martin Heidegger, a Jewish thinker and a philosopher who at one
time was studying to become a Roman Catholic Priest, each in their
own, particular way include in their writings powerful philosophies
of art that, if approached phenomenologically and ethically,
provide keys to understanding their radically divergent
trajectories, both biographically and for their philosophical
heritage. Simon provides a close reading of some of their essential
texts. The Star of Redemption for Rosenzweig and Being and Time and
The Origin of the Work of Art for HeideggerGAaoin order to draw
attention to how their philosophies of art can be understood to
provide significant ethical directives.
The Double Binds of Ethics after the Holocaust advances the idea
that the Holocaust undermined confidence in basic beliefs about
human rights and shows steps of salvage and retrieval that need to
be taken if ethics is to be a significant presence in a world still
besieged by genocide and atrocity.
