Abstract:
In 1921 Rosenzweig made a strong claim for the universalization of his Jewish perspective. Unlike in Weber, Rosenzweig writes, for him Judaism is not the object but the method of his research. This means that it is not only a possible particular religious perspective, but a philosophical way of thought in its own, universally accessible way. The essay discusses this remarkable self-characterization of Rosenzweig’s work in three chapters. The first explores methodological differences between philosophical systems and Rabbinic literature; the second takes a closer look at the process by which the Jewish thinker was “marked” when entering “Jena”; the third tries to make sense of the dialectics in Rosenzweig’s life and philosophy according to which Judaism changed from being a method into becoming a program.
