Rosenzweig's life combined a fabulous spiritual search, a profound engagement with philosophy as well as with Judaism, and enormous accomplishment in the face of overwhelming physical handicaps. His thought is both illuminated by and realized in his amazing life. Nahum Glatzer has brought both the life and the thought together in this marvelous collection. There is no better introduction to this seminal Jewish thinker. --Hilary Putnam, Harvard University
Glatzer's anthology not only makes available an important array of texts; it also presents Rosenzweig's life in a way that is as moving as it is informative. --Michael Morgan, Indiana University
This is an excellent and important volume. I'm very glad you have brought it back into print--especially in an edition that is so faithful to the original. --Robert Gluck, University at Albany
