Encountering the Medieval in Modern Jewish Thought
ISBN: 9789004233508 / Angielski / Twarda / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

During the nineteenth century, often for Jews who were increasingly alienated from their own tradition, the "medieval" functioned primarily as a bearer of identity in a rapidly changing and secular world. Each chapter in Encountering the Medieval in Modern Jewish Thought addresses a different return to the medieval, ranging from the Enlightenment to the contemporary period, that clothed itself in the language of renewal and of...

Franz Rosenzweig's Conversions: World Denial and World Redemption
ISBN: 9780253013125 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Franz Rosenzweig's near-conversion to Christianity in the summer of 1913 and his subsequent decision three months later to recommit himself to Judaism is one of the foundational narratives of modern Jewish thought.
