What is Cultural Writings Of Franz Rosenzweig (library Of Jewish Philosophy) about?

One of the better-known Jewish philosophers and capitalist critics, Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1929), is historicized in a lengthy introduction where Galli (religious studies, McGill U.) compares him to thinkers like George Steiner and Walter Benjamin. Difficult-to-read translations of Rosenzweig's writings on literary figures, publishers, and music follow. Here is one such difficult example from Rosenzweig's Hic et Ubique! a rather thought- provoking passage once grammatical identities, references, and constructions are uncovered: Thus necessarily all ailments of commercial capitalism had also to afflict this, his intellectual brother. In intellectual life just as in commercial lifehere as everywhere!the ailments of the lack of restraint, of the lack of content and artificial fulfillment of the satisfaction of the need (which was created for the purpose of being satisfied) in a nutshell: the lack of belief in the creation and its replacement through the `creative.'
