Encounters in Modern Jewish Thought - The Works of Eva Jospe (Volume One: Martin Buber) (Electronic book text)

The first of a three-volume series, this book contains Eva Jospe s previously unpublished study, The Concept of Encounter in the Philosophy of Martin Buber, together with several of her published articles on Buber and on modern Jewish thought, as well as a moving sermon she delivered in 1988, on the 50th anniversary of Kristallnacht. As Ephraim Meir notes in his introduction to the volume, her clear presentation and analysis of Buber s dialogical philosophy reflects a positive appreciation, but also pointed criticism of her one-time teacher s thought. Volume Two of this series contains her translations of Moses Mendelssohn, and Volume Three her Reason and Hope: Selections from the Jewish Writings of Hermann Cohen.
