Cohen, Hermann HERMANN COHENS JUDISCHE SCHRIFTEN (HERMANN COHEN'S JEWISH WRITINGS) Hermann Cohen (1842-1918) was the greatest philosopher, Jewish and secular, of his day. As Professor of Philosophy at Marburg he created a school of neo-Kantian thought which dominated the intellectual debate of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and which influenced all subsequent continental philosophy. In addition he was, from his late 30's until his death at the age of 76, directly and actively concerned with Jewish matters both political and academic. In this posthumously published 3 volume collection of Cohen's writings we have the majority of his essays on Jewish themes, touching upon an extraordinarily wide range of issues. Included in these volumes are his earliest effort on a Jewish subject, Heine und das Judentum (1869), his famous reply to the anti-semitic attack of the historian Treitschke, Ein Bekenntnis zur Judenfrage (1880), and all his other significant studies up to his last contribution, Zur Begrundung einer Akadamiefur die Wissenschaft des judentums (1918). These essays, plus his great philosophical magnum opus, The Religion of Reason out of the Sources of Judaism, give a full picture of his life's work on Jewish subjects. An added valuable feature of these collected writings, which has since become famous in its own right, is Franz Rosenzweig's "Introduction" in which he describes Cohen the philosopher as well as Cohen the man.
