identity and difference in philosophical and theological thinking. As a way<br />

to engage this particular “and,” <strong>Rosenzweig</strong>, I shall argue, developed a<br />

quotation technique that he derived from the Jewish midrashic tradition and<br />

applied to German philosophical and literary writing. In the Star, <strong>Rosenzweig</strong><br />

quoted, without using quotation marks, from both the Jewish sources—<br />

Scripture, Midrash, Talmud, medieval Jewish exegesis, philosophy, poetry and<br />

the Hebrew prayer book—as well as from the classical literature cherished<br />

by the German Bildungsbürgertum. He documented these quotations in a<br />

list to be included in the second edition of the Star. As he later explained<br />

to Nahum Glatzer, he hoped that this list would alert assimilated readers to<br />

his primary objective: to renew the biblical word. Living within and between<br />

these canons, <strong>Rosenzweig</strong>, I argue, innovated a new mode of philosophical<br />

and theological writing, which was critical to his dialogical thought and was<br />

put to work in his numerous commentaries on music, philosophy, culture,<br />

translation, and on Judaism. Similar to the novelist Thomas Mann’s concept<br />

of zitathaftes Leben (“a life of quotation”), <strong>Rosenzweig</strong>’s style of quotation,<br />

I shall argue, engages how communities define themselves through the<br />

dialectical relationship expressed by an inherited cognitive process that<br />

continually informs new ways of thinking.<br />

– Emilia Taglialatela, Etica e formazione. Ipotesi per un confronto tra<br />

<strong>Rosenzweig</strong> e Lévinas<br />

Il mio contributo si propone di approfondire gli scritti dedicati da <strong>Rosenzweig</strong><br />

ai temi dell’educazione, con particolare riferimento alle pagine in cui<br />

l’autore tematizza il nostro apprendere come «vitale fare domande e controdomande».<br />

Proprio la centralità del concetto di «domanda», che costituì<br />

uno degli aspetti metodologicamente più significativi dell’esperienza<br />

rosenzweighiana del Freies Jüdisches Lehrhaus, rinvia a una visione della<br />

Bildung fondata sulla reciprocità di un costante confronto in cui l’apertura<br />

all’ascolto dell’altro diventa il lievito d’una rinnovata relazione tra colui che<br />

insegna e colui che impara. Il lavoro intende esplorare le molteplici implicazioni<br />

dell’impostazione rosenzweighiana, anche alla luce della filosofia dialogica di<br />

Lévinas e degli spunti concettuali, tanto preziosi nel tempo presente, che essa<br />

offre per ripensare la specificità dei processi di formazione nell’orizzonte del<br />

riconoscimento della pluralità di prospettive etico-religiose differenti.<br />
