The text deals with the question whether Hannah Arendt was influenced by Franz Rosenzweig’s Der Stern der Erlösung (1921) before writing Der Liebesbegriff bei Augustin (1929). Instead of building general analogies, I studied two very specific topics – the world and birth – to demonstrate that Arendt repeated almost verbatim Rosenzweig’s entire peculiar argumentation which played the notions of God and nature against each other to combat their overwhelming power and to make room for the contingency of the world and the novelty of each birth. Facing the helplessness of a philosophy which ignored mortality, Rosenzweig cried out the lament of the finite being. Philosophy, with its predilection for totality, lost adequate proportions to reflect on life. Arendt revived this paradigmatic reorientation, but with a significant twist: for her, birth and the world meant more than God for Rosenzweig. Both thinkers projected a language between philosophy and theology, inciting the two idioms to a fruitful debate.

The Star of Redemption, thinker Franz Rosenzweig’s life’s work, has beenanalysed and interpreted across a variety of disciplines and perspectives for almosta hundred years. Future generations will continue to use and appreciate this text for itsenduring variety and multiplicity of ideas. This article aims to provide a hermeneutical insight into Rosenzweig’s idea of the anticipation of the Kingdom. Rosenzweig deriveshis ideas from the Tanakh. Eternity, according to Rosenzweig, is neither an infinite nor an indeterminately long period of time, but ‘a Tomorrow that could as well be Today’. Redemption occurs as eternity projected in time. The author understands time not only as a sequence of moments as occurrence in history. For him history will be newly decided inevery moment of encounter between the Other and the Self. History moves forward only because of the individual, who decides. Rosenzweig therefore considersprayer as the constitutive element of the human world order, which can anticipate and accelerate the coming of the Kingdom. Rosenzweig’s conception of prayer is fully developed in the third part of the Star, especially in the introduction, titled On the Possibility of Soliciting (erbeten) the Kingdom by Prayer. Here the author introduces different types of prayers andasks the most crucial question of the last part of the Star: Can a human being tempt Godsimply by praying? Subsequently, we must recognize the significance of Rosenzweig’scontribution to the interpretation of prayer as the anticipation of the Kingdom. His analysisremains current and a precious resource for further reflection.

W artykule podjęto próbę opisania kategorii miłości i Nicości, jak również koncepcji Dei absconditi, przedstawionych przez Franza Rosenzweiga w Gwieździe zbawienia. Analiza dzieła pozwoliła na sformułowanie tezy, że konstruując swój system, Rosenzweig wykorzystał najistotniejsze idee oraz poglądy kosmogoniczne i ontologiczne wyrażane wcześniej przez żydowskich mistyków, a zwłaszcza przez myślicieli reprezentujących kabałę zoharyczną i szkołę luriańską.

The aim of the paper is to describe the categories of love and Nothingness as well as the idea of Deus absconditus, which are presented in The Star of Redemption by Franz Rosenzweig. The analysis of the philosopher’s major work makes it possible to formulate a thesis that Rosenzweig adopted the central cosmogonic and ontological concepts of Jewish mystics – especially the representatives of the Zoharic Kabbalah and the Lurianic school – while constructing his own “star-system”.
