Que reste-t-il de Rosenzweig, plus de soixante-quinze ans après sa mort ? Des tranchées de la Première Guerre mondiale aux dernières années marquées par la paralysie, Salomon Malka est allé sur ses traces, dans la ville qui l'a vu naître, et raconte ce chemin de pensée singulier qui passe par la tentation chrétienne, le retour au judaïsme, et la découverte de leur intimité profonde et inconciliable. Il cherche à faire revivre le personnage, proclame le retour de sa pensée parmi nous et renoue les fils d'une œuvre majeure, « L'Étoile de la Rédemption », qui se voulait un témoignage pour un lointain avenir. Derrière le parcours, l'auteur pressent un livre-nourricier, le Cantique des Cantiques. Comment le récit de la Sulamite peut-il inspirer une vie ? Comment s'insère-t-il dans le parcours du philosophe ? Comment un dialogue entre deux livres peut-il s'instaurer et se nourrir par-delà le temps ? À travers une lecture croisée, où du cœur de « L'Étoile » la silhouette de la bergère d'Ein Guedi nous fait signe, l'auteur entreprend de revisiter à sa manière un itinéraire de pensée sans pareil dans le siècle et dont on n'a pas fini de découvrir, aujourd'hui encore, tout l'éclat.

What remains of Rosenzweig today, more than seventy-five years after his death? Salomon Malka retraces his path, from the trenches of WW1 to his final years spent in the town of his birth, burdened by paralysis. He also recounts Rosenzweig’s unique intellectual itinerary, during which he encountered the temptation of Christianity, the return to Judaism, and the discovery of their deep but irreconcilable bond. In this book, the author breathes life back into the man, proclaims the return of his ideas in our times and recalls his major work, The Star of Redemption, whose ambition was to serve as a testimony for generations to come. But as well as Rosenzweig’s spiritual path, the author presents the book that nourished it: the Song of Songs. How did the Sulamite’s allegory inspire a man’s life? How does it enter into Rosenzweig’s work as a philosopher? How can a dialogue between two books take place and develop beyond time? At the heart of the Star, the shepherdess of Ein Guedi hails us. In a dual reading, the author undertakes to revisit the life and thoughts of a man who was unique in his century, and whose full brightness still remains to be discovered.
