Abstract:
The paper delineates Rosenzweig’s theory of autonomous art against the background of his understanding of metaphysics and systematicity, which evolved around his conception of love. The first part discusses Rosenzweig’s critical understanding of traditional metaphysics and the resulting task of reconfiguring systematic philosophy. The second part reconstructs Rosenzweig’s account of creation as the threshold toward revelation and, thus, as the negative argument for ascribing love such a pivotal role within the overall project of the Star. Part three delineates Rosenzweig’s theory of love as divine calling against the background of both his non-necessitarian yet systematic philosophy and his theory of redemption. The fourth and final part further illuminates Rosenzweig’s theory of love through the juxtaposition between the divine and the artistic calling and/or between revelatory and artistic communication, simultaneously elucidating Rosenzweig’s claim that autonomous art is a necessary yet episodic stage toward religious and religion-inspired social practices.
