Heidegger and His Jewish Reception by Daniel M. Herskowitz Paperback Book

Description: Heidegger and His Jewish Reception by Daniel M. Herskowitz Offering a breadth unmatched by any other study to date, this book deals with the intense Jewish engagement with Martin Heideggers philosophy. It demonstrates that while his anti-Semitism made his Jewish reception inevitably fraught, no other philosopher has impacted and fomented twentieth century Jewish European thought more than Heidegger. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In this book, Daniel Herskowitz examines the rich, intense, and persistent Jewish engagement with one of the most important and controversial modern philosophers, Martin Heidegger. Contextualizing this encounter within wider intellectual, cultural, and political contexts, he outlines the main patterns and the diverse Jewish responses to Heidegger. Herskowitz shows that through a dialectic of attraction and repulsion, Jewish thinkers developed a version of Jewishness that sought to offer the way out of the overall crisis plaguing their world, which was embodied, as they saw it, in Heideggers life and thought. Neither turning a blind eye to Heideggers anti-Semitism nor using it as an excuse for ignoring his philosophy, they wrestled with his existential analytic and what they took to be its religious, ethical, and political failings. Ironically, Heideggers thought proved itself to be fertile ground for re-conceptualizing what it means to be Jewish in the modern world.

Review … Through meticulous philological and textual control, and an acute theoretical sophistication, Daniel M. Herskowitz illumines the historical and conceptual frame of reference for the Jewish reception of Heidegger … Eschewing a simplistic political disavowal of Heidegger on account of his Nazi affiliation, the book demonstrates the complexity of thought and the need to look beyond platitudes to understand the depth of philosophical reflection. The book will most surely provoke discussion and stimulate further research into this important and timely topic. Elliot R.
