This book turns his writings into a ground-breaking philosophical achievement: thinking which is manifestly indebted to the Kabbalah, but in the post-religious and post-Shoah world. Loss, exile, negativity, God's absence, writing and Jewishness are the main signposts of the negative ontology which this book offers as an interpretation of Jabès' work. On the basis of it, the book enquiries into the nature of the miraculous encounter between Judaism and philosophy which occurred in the 20th century. Modernity means that philosophical Judaism is necessarily a re-constructed tradition: not a source, but a field played with by modern forces.Studies in Jewish history and memory.Freedom of LightsJewish philosophyJewish philosophy.181.06Tacik Przemysław1985-1460885Poniatowska PatrycjaNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910774722803321Freedom of Lights3661040UNINA
