But \"Jewish philosophy\" does not just reflect what \"philosophy\" lacks. Rather, it challenges the project of philosophy itself.\u003cbr\u003e Examining the thought of Spinoza, Moses Mendelssohn, Heinrich Heine, Hermann Cohen Franz Rosenzweig, Martin Buber, Margarete Susman, Hermann Levin Goldschmidt, and others, the book highlights how the most philosophic moments of their works are those in which specific concerns of their \"Jewish questions\" inform the rethinking of philosophy's disciplinarity in principal terms.\u003cbr\u003e The long overdue recognition of the modernity that informs the critical trajectories of Jewish philosophers from Spinoza and Mendelssohn to the present emancipates not just \"Jewish philosophy\" from an infelicitous pigeonhole these philosophers so pointedly sought to reject but, more important, emancipates philosophy from its false claims to universalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580268310808,"sku":"9780823244973","price":24.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-discipline-of-philosophy-and-the-invention-of-modern-jewish-thought-paperback-softback-9780823244973","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
