Franz Rosenzweig 1886 – 1929

Franz Rosenzweig (1886 – 1929) was a German philosopher of the Contemporary era, associated with Jewish Philosophy and Continental Philosophy.

Franz Rosenzweig was a German Jewish philosopher and one of the great figures of twentieth-century Jewish thought. After a near-conversion to Christianity, he returned to Judaism in 1913 and devoted his life to its philosophical and educational renewal. The Star of Redemption, drafted in part on military postcards from the Macedonian front during the First World War, developed a new thinking based on the irreducible triad of God, world, and human being. From 1922 he lived with progressive paralysis, dictating letter by letter, and founded the Free Jewish House of Learning at Frankfurt, where he taught Buber, Adorno, and Benjamin among others.
