Reviews

"""In this rigorous yet poetic study, Wolfson engages dialogues with three remarkable Jewish philosophers: Susan Taubes responding to Heidegger, Gillian Rose criticizing post-modernism, Edith Wyschogrod exploring postmodern transcendence. Wolfson then weaves intellectual debts, heritages, and prospects—showing that we don't have to entrench ourselves 'on two sides of a line that nobody drew.'"" —Bettina Bergo, University of Montreal ""With his characteristic breadth and depth of learning, Wolfson introduces us to three subtle, original thinkers. He makes a convincing case that these Jewish women deserve to be understood as philosophers in the most profound sense of the term."" —Vincent Lloyd, Villanova University"
