From Resurrection to Immortality / Leora Batnitzky in Harvard Theological Review, 102/3 (2009)
[article]
Titre : From Resurrection to Immortality : Theological and Political Implications in Modern Jewish Thought Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Leora Batnitzky, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 279-296. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Hans Jonas began his 1961 Ingersoll Lecture by acknowledging the “undeniable fact” “that the modern temper is uncongenial to the idea of immortality.” Jonas nonetheless concluded his lecture by affirming that “although the hereafter is not ours … we can have immortality … when in our brief span we serve our threatened mortal affairs and help the suffering immortal God.” While he may not have realized it, Jonas's words capture what I shall argue is the dominant view of immortality in modern Jewish thought. Underlying this view is an effort to refute materialist conceptions of human existence without committing to any particularly theological or traditionally metaphysical notion of immortality.
