Cedars of Lebanon: Justice
- Abstract
HERMANN COHEN’S great posthumous work, Die Religion der Vernunft aus den Quellen des Judentums (The Religion of Reason from the Sources of Judaism), has never been published in English translation, but here we give a second, condensed excerpt from it; the first appeared in our December 1956 “Cedars,” both selections having been translated by William Wolf. The interested reader will find a biographical note appended to the first of these two selections; for a full exposition of Cohen’s relation to German philosophy, and his contribution to Jewish thought, the reader may wish to go back to one of the earliest issues of COMMENTARY, December 1945, where Cohen’s essay “The Kingdom of God” appeared, followed up (January 1946) by his discourse on the “Sabbath.”
