The Migration of Metaphysics into the Realm of the Profane: Theodor W. Adorno Reads Gershom Scholem: IJS Studies in Judaica, cartea 20
Autor Ansgar Martins Traducere de Lars Fischeren Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 iul 2020
Rather than merely posit vague associative connections, as previous authors have often done, Martins’s close reading of specific references in published and private texts alike allows him to highlight both commonalities and differences between Adorno’s and Scholem’s understanding of Kabbalistic tropes and the issue of metaphysics in the modern world, and to demonstrate the extent to which similarities resulted from mutual and/or third-party influences (especially Benjamin). Martins throws the specifics of their respective idiosyncratic appropriations of (Jewish) tradition into sharp relief.
