Jewish Philosophy and Culture from Halevi to Adorno, Gebunden

Klappentext

This volume collects some of Steven S. Schwarzschild's (1924-1989) most important essays on Jewish thinkers, including his unpublished Ph. D. dissertation from 1955 on Nachman Krochmal and Hermann Cohen as philosophers of history. The chapters present provocative perspectives on influential philosophical, theological, and cultural figures such as Yehuda Halevi, Ernst Cassirer, Theodor Adorno, Arnold Schoenberg and Rabbi Isaac Hutner. As one of the most original twentieth-century thinkers in the field of Jewish philosophy, Schwarzschild's analysis provides readers with new ways of understanding medieval and modern Jewish philosophy, Jewish religious tradition, and the relation between them. This volume appeals to researchers and students working in these fields.
