Kurzfassung:
The essay explores Rosenzweig’s realist ontology in the Metalogic section of the Star of Redemption and brings it into conversation with Stanley Cavell’s realist ontology of film. In each thinker’s realist ontology, the world is thought of as replete with possibilities of being viewed from infinitely many separated but interlocking perspectives. Each thinker places this realist ontology in service of profoundly different aesthetic theories. For Rosenzweig, classical tragedy stages a world where the human is thrown back upon herself and unable to share the world with others. He claims that there is no way for the tragic self to return to the world except through a divine revelation of love that breaks into the closed self and awakens a loving response. Cavell, however, argues that film is the unique modern art form in which classical tragedy and the experience of revelation are combined, where the spectator is separated from the world and also made aware of the possibility of renewing her connection to the world through a loving response that Cavell describes as the “acknowledgment” of the radical otherness of each person.
