Abstract

This study offers a critical approach to the conception of community by Franz Rosenzweig in The Star of Redemption from Helmuth Plessner's Political Anthropology. In the first place, Plesser's critique of social radicalism is presented, as well as the impoliticity of the German spirit and its parallelism with the Jewish spirit. Second, the passage from Hegel und der Staat to The Star is studied from the community key. Third, the difference between the community of blood and the community of faith is studied in Rosenzweig, as well as its theological-political translation in the distinction between the eternal people and the peoples of the world. Finally, as a conclusion, the impoliticity of the Rosenzweigian proposal is revealed, as well as, therefore, its inability to give an answer to the political problem in Weimar, the catastrophic consequences of which Rosenzweig did not know.
