Death, Love, and Life in the thought of Franz Rosenzweig
Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1929) has long been considered one of the most innovative Jewish thinkers of the 20th century. Though known for its obscurity, his thought offers profound insight into what it means to be religious in the modern age by showing how theological concepts do not only exist in heaven but must be made real in our lives. This course will explore core themes in his writings, such as revelation and redemption, and their continued relevance to Jewish life today.
