| book description |

Hermann Cohen (1842â€“1918) was among the most accomplished Jewish philosophers of modern timesâ€”if not the single most significant. But his work has not yet received the attention it deserves. ThisÂ newly translatedÂ collection of his writingsâ€”most of which are appearing in English for the first timeâ€”illuminates his achievements for studentÂ readers andÂ rectifiesÂ lapses in his intellectual reception by prior generations.Â It presents chapters from Cohenâ€™sâ€¯Ethics of Pure Will, conflicting interpretations of Cohen by Franz Rosenzweig and Alexander Altmann, and finally the eulogy to Cohen delivered at graveside by Ernst Cassirer. Containing fullÂ annotationsÂ andÂ selectionsÂ thatÂ concentrate both on the philosophical core of Cohenâ€™s writings and the politics of interpretation of his work at the time of his deathâ€¯and after, Hermann Cohen truly brings to light all of Cohenâ€™s accomplishments. â€¯Â
