{"product_id":"love-is-strong-as-death","title":"Love Is Strong as Death","description":"A brilliant and engaging biography of one of the great modern Jewish thinkers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1929) was one of the central figures of the Jewish cultural and intellectual renaissance in Weimar Germany. His masterwork, \u003ci\u003eThe Star of Redemption\u003c\/i\u003e (1921), is a classic of existential thought and Jewish philosophy, and his considerable legacy also includes his collaboration with Martin Buber on a key translation of the Hebrew Bible into German and the establishment of an education center in Frankfurt that brought together the most important young German-Jewish intellectuals of its time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Rosenzweig's personal biography is no less fascinating than his ideas and accomplishments. Drawing on unprecedented access to Rosenzweig's unpublished personal correspondence, Paul Mendes-Flohr skillfully weaves together the threads of Rosenzweig's life to give us a moving portrait of this towering figure--from his near-conversion to Christianity to his tragic diagnosis with ALS. Mendes-Flohr also closely explores Rosenzweig's relationship with Margrit Huessy, who was a vital intellectual partner for Rosenzweig, as well as a muse and lover. He worked out many of his ideas about love both in conversation and consort with her, and Mendes-Flohr shows the importance of intimacy--both romantic and platonic--in the development of Rosenzweig's thought. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLove Is Strong as Death\u003c\/i\u003e provides a unique and insightful look at one of the most important modern Jewish thinkers.","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53950302880082,"sku":"9780226843254","price":25.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_ea3b9309-898d-4c49-a8f6-163ce080db28.jpg?v=1783451167","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/love-is-strong-as-death","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
