Philosophy finds itself "between tradition and another beginning."
1 For this reason it seems necessary to reconsider the foundations
of traditional philosophy in the hope that out of these
considerations new questions may arise which may lead to a new
philosophical foundation. To this end neither the large manual nor
the monograph is well suited. What is required, instead, is to take
a few steps which lead our thoughts directly into the problems of a
given, traditional, philosophical foun dation. In this sense the
present work wishes to provide an "introduction" into that
philosophical foundation which, until Hegel, had a decisive
influence upon traditional philosophy_ Consequently, it does not
see its task in providing a survey of this whole complex of
problems. Nor does it offer solutions to questions about difficult
passages which have been the subject of two thousand years of
Aristotelian scholarship_ Instead, it follows a definite path which
might bring this Aristotelian science, the theory which seeks to
determine being as being, on hei on, closer to the student of
philosophy."
Hermann Cohen (1842-1918) was among the most accomplished Jewish
philosophers of modern times-if not the single most significant.
But his work has not yet received the attention it deserves. This
newly translated collection of his writings-most of which are
appearing in English for the first time-illuminates his
achievements for student readers and rectifies lapses in his
intellectual reception by prior generations. It presents chapters
from Cohen's Ethics of Pure Will, conflicting interpretations of
Cohen by Franz Rosenzweig and Alexander Altmann, and finally the
eulogy to Cohen delivered at graveside by Ernst Cassirer.
Containing full annotations and selections that concentrate both on
the philosophical core of Cohen's writings and the politics of
interpretation of his work at the time of his death and after,
Hermann Cohen truly brings to light all of Cohen's accomplishments.
