Poet's Corner
Poetry 2

An excerpt from "Song at Sunset"

 

By Walt Whitman

 

"Splendor of ended day floating and filling me,

Hour prophetic, hour resuming the past,

Inflating my throat, you divine average,

You earth and life till the last ray gleams I sing."

Lecture "Confronting Spinoza's Theological-Political Treatise:  Hermann Cohen vs. Franz Rosenzweig"
Myriam Bienenstock, University François Rabelais at Tours, France

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011
5:00pm
BU School of Law
Barristers Hall 
765 Commonwealth Avenue, First Floor


Professor Bienenstock's contention is that trying to interpret the late criticism without taking into account the early enthusiasm condemns us not to understand Cohen's rage and its causes, nor Cohen's aims. In this lecture, she will explain what Rosenzweig saw as a "sin," and why Rosenzweig did not agree with Spinoza, nor with Cohen.
