Speech, language and temporalities: The Bible in Franz Rosenzweig's 'Star of Redemption'

In the Star of Redemption Rosenzweig outlines three grammars as three patterns of temporalization which induce different kinds of language. These grammars have three referents in the Bible text, Genesis, Song of Songs and Psalms. The Rosenzweigian relationship between "Speech-thinking" and appropriation of Hebrew literality opens therefore to a new hermeneutic view of a "biblical Word forth" - where we can point out a questionable similarity with Heidegger and Levinas in connection with language and its power of desontologization.
