Franz Rosenzweig published 'The Star of Redemption' in 1921, challenging the totalizing systems of German Idealism. He focused on the relational realities of God, Man, and the World, emphasizing the importance of individual experience and connection. Rosenzweig's work has had a profound influence on Jewish philosophy and existential thought, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of faith and existence.

Rosenzweig's 'The Star of Redemption' introduced a dialogical approach that resonated with post-Holocaust Jewish poetry. His emphasis on the fragmented self and ethical considerations influenced poets grappling with identity and the complexities of the human experience.
