A Journey Through Jewish Philosophy #7 - Collected Talks of David Solomon #85    Video


 
In this Jewish Philosophy lecture, David explores the ideas and contributions of four post-Enlightenment philosophers:

- Nachman Krochmal
- Hermann Cohen
- Franz Rosenzweig, and
- Martin Buber

who lived from the late 18th to early 20th centuries.

David's overview of these Jewish philosophers examines, among other things:

- Nachman Krochmal and his consideration of the religious versus the good
- Hermann Cohen and his emphasis on a return to Jewish sources and the concepts of being and becoming
- Franz Rosenzweig and his replacement of Enlightenment universalism with three modes of relationship between the Divine, the world, and humanity
- Martin Buber and his exploration of dialogic relationships expressed in his work "I and Thou."

In his discussion of these four remarkable thinkers, David provides historical background to Jewish life in Europe - including the impact of emancipation and assimilation - and how this played out in the individual stories of these figures.

This talk is the seventh instalment of David's eight-part series, A Journey Through Jewish Philosophy, delivered on Zoom for Caulfield Shule in 2020. Other episodes can be found here:
