With their respective systems they - both in their own ways - transcended the apologetic stance of Jewish thought by placing the Jewishness of their thinking at a methodologically central point for ¡°general philosophy.¡± However, the link between Cohen¡¯s system and the Star of Redemption, is hard to find. Looking back from the perspective of a ¡°return of religion¡± in late twentieth century, the essay proposes to see the link between both systems in Cohen¡¯s notion of compassion. %K prophets %K poverty %K compassion %K theodicy %K system %K apologetics %K return of religions %U http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/0353-5738/2012/0353-57381202035P.pdf
