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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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 Drawing on unprecedented access to Rosenzweig’s unpublished personal correspondence, Paul Mendes-Flohr skillfully weaves together the threads of Rosenzweig’s life to give us a moving portrait of this towering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.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57605590450550,"sku":"9780226843254","price":29.22,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_41142994.jpg?v=1780687887","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780226843254-love-is-strong-as-death","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
