25
We aim here to retrace the path, of existence and thought, that led Franz Rosenzweig to his masterpiece The Star of Redemption. Its first stage features a “return” to Judaism, where some reluctance is shown toward the hegelian and christian “temptations.” After which, a decisive debate with Franz Rosenstock occurs in 1916, where their friendship enables a thorough, thought provoking and honest discussion between an emissary attached to History, and a witness of the Eternal. In a period split between the quarrels of nations vying for the control of the world, and the withdrawal of an elected people destined for an eschatological judgment, is it possible to contemplate a form of reasoning that allows singular existences in their totality, their respective traditions, and their meaningful confrontations? Here lies the challenge that The Star of Redemption attempts to reckon with.
