But \"Jewish philosophy\" does not just reflect what \"philosophy\" lacks. Rather, it challenges the project of philosophy itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExamining 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Willi Goetschel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fordham University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823244973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWilli Goetschel \u003c\/strong\u003eis Professor of German and Philosophy at the University of Toronto.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40495481553011,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":57.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_c513d0c6-e5cc-4afd-a502-853f67aa8a85.jpg?v=1665061596","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-discipline-of-philosophy-and-the-invention-of-modern-jewish-thought-9780823244973","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
