Excerpt from Judaica: Festschrift zu Hermann Cohens Siebzigstem Geburtstage Man kommt der Wahrheit naher, wenn man den Widerspruch anerkennt. In ihm zeigt sich das noch unsicher tastende Bestreben, das subjektive Offenbarungserlebnis dadurch ungefährlich zu machen, daß man es zwingt, sich vor objektiven oder doch wenigstens an erkannten religiösen Wahrheiten zu verantworten. Das geschieht schon ganz deutlich und mit klarem Bewußtsein in Dt 13. Hier kommt der Standpunkt zu Worte, daß die Religion, die der Nieder schlag der lebendigen sich in den Propheten immer aufs neue voll ziehenden Offenbarung ist, Grenzen und Wälle aufrichten muß, um ihr Wesen behaupten zu können. Sie gibt einen Kanon, eine Richt schnur für alle künftigen Offenbarungen. Mit Dt 13 ist der Begriff des religiösen Dogmas gegründet, sofern darunter ein Lehrsatz ver standen ist, der von der organisierten religiösen Gemeinde als gültige Norm anerkannt wird. Und es ist ja die Aufgabe des deutero nomischen Gesetzes, die religiöse Gemeinde zu organisieren. Auf der anderen Seite lebt aber noch ungebrochen der Geist, der diese Religion geschaffen hat: die Pr0phetie ist noch nicht erloschen.

(Hermann Cohen's Religion of Reason, Out of the Sources of...)
Hermann Cohen's Religion of Reason, Out of the Sources of Judaism (first published in 1919) is widely taken to be the greatest work in Jewish philosophy and religious thought since Maimonides' Guide to the Perplexed. It is at once a Jewish book and a philosophical one: Jewish because it takes its material from the literary tradition that extends from the bible to the rabbis to the great medieval philosophers; philosophical because it studies that material in order to construct a worldview that is rational in the broadest sense of the term. This edition reprints a 1972 introduction by Leo Strauss and includes an essay on the work by Steven Schwarzchild. A new introduction by Kenneth R. Seeskin situates Cohen's masterwork in the history of modern philosophical and religious thought.

Strauss, B. and B. (1939) Briefe, Berlin: Schocken. During the first part of his life, Cohen dealt with Kantian ethics and reason, founding the Marburg School of neo-Kantianism. His experience of anti-semitism and his meeting with Polish Jews who were barred from the university system revolutionized his thought, which turned to questions of religion. He advocated a complete integration of Jews into German society and repudiated Zionism. He defined Judaism as ethical monotheism, based on the biblical prophets. He has been criticized for repudiating Jewish nationalism and ritual practice, and ignoring the non-rational side of religion, but this was typical of many thinkers of his day, who tended to regard Germany as the ‘new Jerusalem’ for Jews! Nevertheless his influence has been considerable, not only on non-Orthodox philosophers such as Max Wiener, Leo Baeck and Franz Rosenzweig, but also on the doyen of new American Orthodoxy, J. D. Soloveitchik. His work has been compared to Natorp's and contrasted with Hegel’s. He has been translated into and commented on in French and Spanish.
