Leo Strauss Between Weimar and America (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2019): Adi Armon Leo Strauss Between Weimar and America (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2019)
Adi Armon; Translated by Michelle Bubis
R2,393 Discovery Miles 23 930 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This is the first book-length examination of the impact Leo Strauss' immigration to the United States had on this thinking. Adi Armon weaves together a close reading of unpublished seminars Strauss taught at the University of Chicago in the 1950s and 1960s with an interpretation of his later works, all of which were of course written against the backdrop of the Cold War. First, the book describes the intellectual environment that shaped the young Strauss' worldview in the Weimar Republic, tracing those aspects of his thought that changed and others that remained consistent up until his immigration to America. Armon then goes on to explore the centrality of Karl Marx to Strauss's intellectual biography. By analyzing an unpublished seminar Strauss taught with Joseph Cropsey at the University of Chicago in 1960, Armon shows how Strauss' fragmentary, partial engagement with Marx in writing obscured the important role that Marxism actually played as an intellectual challenge to his later political thinking. Finally, the book explores the manifestations of Straussian doctrine in postwar America through reading Strauss' The City and Man (1964) as a representative of his political teaching.

Understanding YHWH - The Name of God in Biblical, Rabbinic, and Medieval Jewish Thought (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2019): Hillel... Understanding YHWH - The Name of God in Biblical, Rabbinic, and Medieval Jewish Thought (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2019)
Hillel Ben-Sasson; Translated by Michelle Bubis
R3,045 Discovery Miles 30 450 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book unlocks the Jewish theology of YHWH in three central stages of Jewish thought: the Hebrew bible, rabbinic literature, and medieval philosophy and mysticism. Providing a single conceptual key adapted from the philosophical debate on proper names, the book paints a dynamic picture of YHWH's meanings over a spectrum of periods and genres, portraying an evolving interaction between two theological motivations: the wish to speak about God and the wish to speak to Him. Through this investigation, the book shows how Jews interpreted God's name in attempt to map the human-God relation, and to determine the measure of possibility for believers to realize a divine presence in their midst, through language.
