Abstract

Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1929) was an important German thinker of the early twentieth century,whose main work is The Star of Redemption. Rosenzweig faced the collapse of idealism and hiswork revealed the fragmented state of philosophical thought in his time. Surpassing his ownHegelianism and the idealistic systems, he dedicated his late thinking to develop a system ofphilosophy that valued human uniqueness in all its existential fullness.This singularity is an element that is unattainable by the idealistic system of totality because it fallsoutside of this system. Precisely for this reason is that Rosenzweig attaches philosophicalimportance due to its existential aspect.Many contemporary scholars place his work among the existentialists, however Rosenzweig goesbeyond existentialism as he sees Man in his dialogical relationship with the other components of thereality, which are God and the World. The fact of existence is revealed in their relationships and canonly be thought of by a particular man, and never by an ideal man. Thus, we consider in this articletwo of the most important features of Rosenzweig's philosophy, which is a thought of theexperience and existence, which is in relation to the other through dialogue and speech over time.
