Bücher von Eva Jospe

The third of a three-volume series, this book contains Eva Jospe''s ''Reason and Hope: Selections from the Jewish Writings of Hermann Cohen,'' together with two essays examining Cohen''s enduring importance and relevance. As Dov Schwartz suggests in his Introduction to the volume, she believed that Cohen''s Jewish Writings had the potential for influence and impact on the American Jewish intellectual, and would enrich the ethical and religious life of the Jewish community in America. Her selection of passages to be translated, and her decisions regarding what to omit, served these purposes. Volume One of this series contains her study of the "Concept of Encounter in the Philosophy of Martin Buber," and Volume Two her translations of Moses Mendelssohn.

The second of a three-volume series, this book contains Eva Jospe¿s Moses Mendelssohn: Selections from His Writings, together with an article dealing with Mendelssohn¿s enduring significance. As Raphael Jospe observes in his introduction to the volume, despite the welcome growth in recent years in the availability of English translations of Mendelssohn¿s works, Eva Jospe¿s Selections (including some of Mendelssohn¿s private letters) remain valuable for their clarity, for the logic of their organization, and for the important insight they provide into Mendelssohn¿s personality and convictions. Volume One of this series contains Eva Jospe¿s study of the ¿Concept of Encounter in the Philosophy of Martin Buber,¿ and Volume Three her Reason and Hope: Selections from the Jewish Writings of Hermann Cohen. Together, these volumes offer a multidimensional view of Jospe¿s work and thoughts.
