This volume brings together Rosenzweig's central essays on theology and
philosophy, including two works available for the first time in English:
the conclusion to Rosenzweig's book Hegel and the State, and
Rosenzweig's famous letter to Rudolph Ehrenberg known as the Urzelle of
the Star of Redemption, an essential work for understanding Rosenzweig,
Weimar theology and philosophy, and German idealism and the existential
reaction of the period. Additional selections are presented in new or
revised translations. Introduction and notes by Franks and Morgan set
Rosenzweig's works in context and illuminate his role as one of the key
thinkers of the period.
