    Abstract: "What does it mean to wonder in awe or terror about the world? How do you philosophically understand Judaism? In How to Measure a World?: A Philosophy of Judaism, Martin Shuster provides answers to these questions and more. Emmanuel Levinas suggested that Judaism is best understood as an anachronism. Shuster attempts to make sense of this claim by alternatively considering questions of the inscrutability of ultimate reality, of the pain and commonness of human suffering, and of the ways in which Judaism is entangled with the world. Drawing on phenomenology and Jewish thought, Shuster offers novel readings of some of the classic figures of Jewish philosophy while inserting other voices into the tradition, from Moses Maimonides to Theodor W. Adorno to Walter Benjamin to Stanley Cavell. How to Measure a World? examines elements of the Jewish philosophical record to get at the full intellectual scope and range of Levinas's proposal. Shuster's view of anachronism thereby provokes an assessment of the world and our place in it. A particular understanding of Jewish philosophy emerges, not only through the traditions it encompasses, but also through an understanding of the relationship between humans and their world. In the end, Levinas's suggestion is examined theoretically as much as practically, revealing what's at stake for Judaism as much as for the world"--

    Abstract: This volume is the first-ever collection of essays devoted to the Lurianic concept of tsimtsum. It contains eighteen studies in philosophy, theology, and intellectual history, which demonstrate the historical development of this notion and its evolving meaning: from the Hebrew Bible and the classical midrashic collections, through Kabbalah, Isaac Luria himself and his disciples, up to modernity (ranging from Spinoza, Böhme, Leibniz, Newton, Schelling, and Hegel to Scholem, Rosenzweig, Heidegger, Benjamin, Adorno, Horkheimer, Levinas, Jonas, Moltmann, and Derrida)

    Abstract: Von Moses bis Moses… möchte den vom biblischen und rabbinischen Judentum geprägten und zugleich das Judentum der Moderne prägenden Juden Moses Mendelssohn sichtbar machen und deuten: Vom Moses der Bibel über Moses Maimonides bis zu Moses aus Dessau werden Entwicklung und Überzeugungen des jüdischen Denkers Moses Mendelssohn zwischen deutscher und jüdischer Aufklärung nachgezeichnet. Von Moses bis Moses… versucht sich durch eine Auswahl verschiedener Studien an einer Charakteristik des jüdischen Mendelssohn im übergreifenden Kontext der europäischen Aufklärung: Anhand der Analyse von aussagekräftigen Details aus seinen deutschen und hebräischen Schriften zur Religionsphilosophie, zu Bibel-Exegese und jüdischem Recht werden die philosophischen, politischen und religiösen Positionen Mendelssohns als prominentester Jude des 18. Jahrhunderts dargestellt und konturiert. Der Blick auf den jüdischen Mendelssohn erschließt dessen kritische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Christentum, aber auch seinen Anschluss an und seine Abgrenzung von den christlichen Aufklärern, darunter Leibniz, Reimarus, Michaelis, Kant, Abbt, Lavater, Dohm, Herder, und sogar sein Freund Lessing. Zugleich beleuchtet Von Moses bis Moses… Mendelssohns wichtige Rolle als Wegbereiter und Vorbild der Haskala. Christoph Schulte ist Professor für Philosophie und Jüdische Studien an der Universität Potsdam.
