    A reinterpretation of thinkers from Benjamin and Rosenzweig to Simone Weil and Derrida

    Judaism and Modernity: Philosophical Essays challenges the philosophical presentation of Judaism as the sublime ‘other’ of modernity. Here, Gillian Rose develops a philosophical alternative to deconstruction and post-modernism by critically re-engaging the social and political issues at stake in every reconstruction.
    “A fierce vigilance of thought.”
    —Guardian

    “This is a book to make one want to read philosophy once again. I can think of no higher praise.”
    —Times Higher Education
    Gillian Rose (1947–1995) was a British philosopher and sociologist. She is the author of The Melancholy Science, Paradiso, Mourning Becomes the Law, The Broken Middle; Dialectic of Nihilism, Hegel Contra Sociology, and Love’s Work.
