Benjamin Pollock (Michigan State University)

Franz Rosenzweig and the Systematic Task of Philosophy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Benjamin Pollock argues that Franz Rosenzweig's The Star of Redemption is devoted to the task of grasping 'the All' - the whole of what is - in the form of a system, and that it at once calls on its readers to realize in their concrete decisions, actions, and relations the very same 'All' which they can come to know.
