The first of a three-volume series, this book offers access to a rich selection of Eva Jospes most distinguished works on Jewish Philosophy. The editors unveil Jospes previously unpublished study The Concept of Encounter in the Philosophy of Martin Buber, presented alongside several of her published articles on the life and work of Buber, and on Modern Jewish thought. The second volume of this series contains Jospes translations of Moses Mendelssohn, and Volume Three is comprised of her Reason and Hope: Selections from the Jewish Writings of Hermann Cohen. Together, these volumes offer a multidimensional view of Jospes work and thoughts, including a heightened awareness of the paradox noted by Ephraim Meir in his introductionJospes appreciation and admiration of Martin Buber, reflected in her clear presentation and analysis of his dialogical philosophy, simultaneously coupled with her pointed criticisms of the standpoint of her one-time teacher.

Raphael Jospe teaches Jewish philosophy at Ariel and Bar Ilan Universities, and served as editor of the Jewish Philosophy division of the Encylopaedia Judaica (2nd edition), and currently is editor of the Jewish philosophy division of the planned new edition of the Encyclopaedia Hebraica. Among his books, Jewish Philosophy in the Middle Ages was published by Academic Studies Press.|Dov Schwartz, a former Dean of Humanities at Bar Ilan University and head of the departments of Philosophy and of Music, currently heads its interdisciplinary unit, and holds the Natalie and Isidore Friedman Chair for Teaching Rav Joseph B. Soloveitchik's Thought. Among his various books, Religious Zionism: History and Ideology was published by Academic Studies Press.|Eva Jospe (1913-2011) was born and educated in Germany. She studied philosophy, including a course with Martin Buber. She was expelled from the university with the other Jewish students before finishing her degree, and was only able to complete her graduate education decades later in America. Following her immigration to America at the age of 26, she developed an extraordinary mastery of English, which enabled her in later years to translate works by Buber, Moses Mendelssohn, Hermann Cohen, and Franz Rosenzweig. She taught modern Jewish thought at Georgetown and George Washington Universities inWashington, D.C. for many years. After the death of her husband, Rabbi Alfred Jospe, she returned to the university as a student, and shortly before she turned 90 moved to Jerusalem to be near her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She died several days before her 98th birthday and is buried in Jerusalem.
