Abstract

The Star of Redemption (1921) is the major work of Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1927); it is one of the most important books of the 20th century about the problematic of (co)existential philosophy, comparable and opposable to Heidegger’s Being and Time (1927). Its purpose may be summed up by saying that human being is born into his own existence through the discovery of absolute Otherness. This New thinking, as Rosenzweig entitled it in a short 1925 essay, created a dialogic humanism alongside the critique of monological thought in the philosophical tradition. One should point out the main co-existential categories of Rosenzweig’s proposal and briefly compare his unique point of view as a religious thinker with some main trends of modern and postmodern philosophy.
