PRESENCIA DEL PROFETISMO JUDÍO EN EL NEOKANTISMO DE H. COHEN Y E. CASSIRER.

NEO-Kantianism; JEWISH philosophy; COHEN, Hermann, 1842-1918; CASSIRER, Ernst, 1874-1945; JUDAISM; MESSIANISM; KANT, Immanuel, 1724-1804

Este artículo analiza la influencia que tuvo la tradición del profetismo judío en la lectura de Hermann Cohen y Ernst Cassirer sobre la filosofía de Kant, para la cual era crucial mostrar la continuidad entre las nociones de derecho y temporalidad histórica defendidas en el pensamiento judío clásico y en el modelo trascendental kantiano. El escrito tiene tres objetivos, a saber, primero, analizar la contribución a la civilización europea de pensadores judíos en varios escritos de Cohen. Segundo, subrayar la deuda que la teoría de las formas simbólicas de Cassirer mantiene con la lectura del mesianismo de Cohen. Por último, delimitar una parte del pensamiento judío contemporáneo que opta por fortalecer la participación de las figuras señeras de éste en la formación de la cultura europea y de su tradición política moderna.

This paper focuses on the influence that the tradition of Jewish prophetism shows in the interpretation of Kant's philosophy claimed by the scholars of the University of Marburg, Hermann Cohen and Ernst Cassirer. Both considered a key point to argue for the continuity between the notions of right and historical temporality stemming from the classical Jewish thought and Kant's transcendental model. The paper has three main goals. First, it tackles Cohens vindication of Jewish intellectuals as key actors of the making of European civilization. Second, it highlights the debt that Cassirer's theory of symbolic forms owes to Cohens conception of messianism. Third, it aims at outlining a line of contemporary Jewish thought that decides to underline the large contribution of some of its prominent figures to the genesis of European culture and political modern tradition.
