Examining the use and reception of the Song of Songs in Franz Rosenzweig's The Star of Redemption

本项目旨在讨论罗森茨韦格对圣经著作《歌之歌》的解释和接受，在多大程度上影响了他在《救赎之星》中的爱情哲学，以及与以往对这本书的接受不同，并强调了罗森茨韦格对这首诗的革命性解释。这个项目建立在我在我的MRE(由M3C硕士奖学金资助)期间使用的方法上，通过使用接受历史来比较和对比现代和古代对箴言31：10-31的解释。为了实现这一点，我通过诉诸文本和其他圣经文本中的互文典故，在文学批评方法的支持下，构建了对箴言31：10-31的潜在原创理解，以探索古代观众如何理解这首诗，然后将其与现代对这首诗的接受和解释进行比较。这需要大量使用圣经希伯来语，这是我在本科学习期间获得的一项技能，最终也是在一篇包含圣经希伯来语翻译和解释的论文中达到顶峰。

This project aims to discuss how far Rosenzweig's interpretation and reception of the biblical book The Song of Songs, influenced his philosophy of love in The Star of Redemption, and differs from prior receptions of the book and emphasize Rosenzweig's, arguably, revolutionary interpretation of the poem as a result. This project builds on the methodologies I used during my MRes (funded by M3C Masters Scholarship), which compared and contrasted modern and ancient interpretations of Proverbs 31:10-31via the use of Reception History. To accomplish this I constructed a potential original understanding of Proverbs 31:10-31 by appealing to inter-textual allusions within the text and other biblical texts, supported by literary critical methodologies, to explore how the poem was understood by an ancient audience, and then compared this with modern receptions and interpretations of the poem. This required extensive work with Biblical Hebrew, a skill which I attained during my undergraduate studies, which also culminated in a dissertation that incorporated Biblical Hebrew translation and interpretation.
