Franz Rosenzweig e o pensamento dialógico

The present monograph is a decisive step towards the reception in Portugal of Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1929), an author whose depth, originality, and compassion have been recognized, earning him a prominent place among contemporary philosophers. In his 1921 book The Star of Redemption Rosenzweig proposed what he called a "new way of thinking. His rejection of monological thinking - a rejection as vehement as in Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche - forced a different look at philosophers "from Jonia to Jena"; his view of revelation as a call from the other helped shape the course of philosophy and theology in the 20th century; his reflections on finitude and the temporal contours of human experience anticipate the reflections of Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre; the importance he attached to language promoted this area of study, later cultivated by Walter Benjamin, Paul Ricoeur, and Jacques Derrida. Finally, the emphasis placed on the relationship between the I and the You gave rise to dialogical studies, in which Martin Buber and Emmanuel Lévinas stood out.
