Hermann Cohen and the Crisis of Liberalism
Hermann Cohen (1842–1918) is often held to be one of the most important Jewish philosophers of the nineteenth century. Paul E. Nahme, in this new consideration of Cohen, liberalism, and religion, emphasizes the idea of enchantment, or the faith in and commitment to ideas, reason, and critique—the animating spirits that move society forward. Nahme views Cohen through the lenses of the crises of Imperial Germany—the rise of antisemitism, nationalism, and secularization—to come to a greater understanding of liberalism, its Protestant and Jewish roots, and the spirits of modernity and tradition that form its foundation. Nahme's philosophical and historical retelling of the story of Cohen and his spiritual investment in liberal theology present a strong argument for religious pluralism and public reason in a world rife with populism, identity politics, and conspiracy theories.

Offenbarungsphilosophie und Geschichte
Die Studie widmet sich den säkularisierenden Wirkungen des modernen Geschichtsbegriffs und seinem Einfluss auf Interpretationen des Judentums. Dafür deutet die Autorin Franz Rosenzweigs "Der Stern der Erlösung" (1921), in dem er dem Fortschritt der Menschheit jegliche Bedeutung absprach und das Judentum außerhalb der Weltgeschichte situierte, als Krisenschrift. Von seiner Offenbarungsphilosophie ausgehend blickt Inka Sauter zurück auf das lange 19. Jahrhundert und die Schriften von Hermann Cohen, der in kaum vergleichbarer Intensität eine Geschichtsphilosophie des Judentums im Namen der Menschheit vertrat. Den Bruch im Übergang von Cohen zu Rosenzweig kontrastiert sie mit der sich der Theologie bedienenden Geschichtsphilosophie Walter Benjamins von 1940. In der Gegenüberstellung der drei Denker gewinnt die "geschichtliche Welt" Kontur.
