Ethics Out of Law: Hermann Cohen and the "Neighbor" (University of Toronto Press, 2021) Hermann Cohen (1842-1918) was a leading figure in the Neo-Kantian philosophical movement that dominated European thought before 1918. He was also an inaugural figure in modern Jewish philosophy. This book explores Cohen's striking claim that ethics is rooted in law - a claim developed in both his philosophical ethics and his philosophy of Judaism, in particular in his writings on "love-of-neighbor," up to and including his well-known Religion of Reason.
