He is also the inaugural figure for what is meant by \"modern Jewish philosophy\" in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This book explores Cohen's striking claim that ethics is rooted in law - a claim developed in both his philosophical ethics and his philosophy of Judaism, in particular in his writings on \"love-of-neighbor,\" up to and including his well-known \u003ci\u003eReligion of Reason.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDana Hollander proposes that neither Cohen's systematic philosophy nor his \"Jewish\" philosophy should be seen as the dominant framework for his oeuvre as a whole, but that his understanding of key philosophical questions takes shape in the passages between both corpuses, a trait that could be seen as paradigmatic for modern Jewish philosophy. \u003ci\u003eEthics\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eOut of Law \u003c\/i\u003etaps into one of the prime topics of current interest in the field of Jewish philosophy: the nature of Jewish political existence and the changing configurations of \"law\" that this entails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHollander, Dana:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eDana Hollander\u003c\/b\u003e is an associate professor in the Department of Religious Studies at McMaster University.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50369110376722,"sku":"9781487506247","price":87.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_a08c33dd-993b-46ec-8363-00d5da8f8ca9.jpg?v=1728520846","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/ethics-out-of-law-hermann-cohen-and-the-neighbor-9781487506247","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
