Publisher Synopsis
"Dana Hollander's Exemplarity and Chosenness represents a major contribution to the study of Derrida and Rosenzweig and the rapidly expanding field of new religio-philosophical studies. The scholarship represented here is extraordinary in both range and depth. Hollander's ability to draw subtle and profound connections between texts is remarkable. Her fine analytic and literary readings produce strong new insights and original formulations of the problematics of nationalism, universalism, and exemplarity. This is a book that must be read by anyone interested in Jewish Studies, religion and philosophy, or critical theory today." -- Kenneth Reinhard * University of California at Los Angeles * ""To read Dana Hollander's Exemplarity and Choseness: Rosenzweig and Derrida on the Nation of Philosophy as merely a well-written, through, and clear commentary on the thought of Jacques Derrida and Franz Rosenzweig would be a mistake....Hallander's book...is far more ambitious....Finely polished and compelling." -- Sarah Hammerschlag * <I>The Journal of Religion.</I> * Read more...
