A decade before, the German jurist Carl Schmitt had coined the term 'political theology' in order to designate the Christian theological foundations of modern sovereignty and legal order. In a specular and opposite gesture, Buber argued that the covenant at Sinai established YHWH as the King of the Israelites and simultaneously promulgated the principle that no human being could become sovereign over this people. In so doing, Buber offered an interpretation of Jewish theocracy that is both republican and anarchic. Republican because, by pivoting on the idea that democracy is a function of a people's fidelity to a prophetic higher law, theocracy displaces the central role of the human sovereign. Anarchic because this divine law is saturated with the messianic aim to put an end to relations of domination between peoples. In this book I show that this republican and anarchic articulation of the discourse of political theology characterises the development of Jewish political theology in the 20th century from Hermann Cohen to Hannah Arendt"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Judaism and politics. 650 0 $a Political theology. 650 0 $a Jewish law $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Judaism $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Jewish philosophy $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Jewish philosophy $y 20th century. 650 6 $a JudaiÂsme et politique. 650 6 $a Theologie politique. 650 6 $a Droit juif $x Philosophie. 650 6 $a JudaiÂsme $x Philosophie. 650 6 $a Philosophie juive $y 19e siecle. 650 6 $a Philosophie juive $y 20e siecle. 650 7 $a Jewish law $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00982812 650 7 $a Jewish philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01730516 650 7 $a Judaism and politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984439 650 7 $a Judaism $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984360 650 7 $a Political theology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069899 650 7 $a Judaism and politics. $2 nli 650 7 $a Political theology. $2 nli 650 7 $a Jewish law $x Philosophy. $2 nli 650 7 $a Jewish philosophy $z Germany. $2 nli 650 7 $a Jewish philosophy $y 19th century. $2 nli 650 7 $a Jewish philosophy $y 20th century. $2 nli 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Vatter, Miguel E. $t Living law $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, 2021. $z 9780197546529 $w (DLC) 2020027303 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517011736.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=665BEBBEDCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
