War and its enemy concept structure Rosenzweig’s entire theory of knowledge

Evidence

I am not speaking of his martial rhetoric-although, as Jacques Derrida suggests, the military may be constitutive of the entire body of knowledge upon which the Star rests (“Nothing that is military is foreign to knowledge, to the matheme and to mathematics”). Rather, the question concerns Rosenzweig’s conception of war, and within it, more importantly, perhaps, the question of the enemy. — Gil Anidjar, The Jew, the Arab, 453
