For ten points, identify this Jewish philosopher, the author of Hegel and the State and The Star of Redemption.
One essay by this thinker considers a person who becomes paralyzed by philosophical questioning, and is entitled "The Little Book of Healthy and Sick Human Understanding." Another work by this thinker was written partly on postcards sent to his mother from the hospital, and contains an account of what this thinker called "speech-thinking." In analyzing a fragment of Hegel's writing originally given the name "An Ethics," this philosopher concluded that he had found what he called the "Oldest System-Program of German Idealism." This philosopher's first major work also dealt with Hegel, and argued that Hegel's conception of politics had grown out of Hegel's attempts to reconcile individual subjectivity with the objective nature of the world. This thinker criticized his contemporary Martin Buber for reducing divinity to a human projection in an essay titled "Atheistic Theology," and he edited for publication the last great work of his teacher Herman Cohen entitled Religion of Reason out of the Sources of Judaism. For ten points, identify this Jewish philosopher, the author of Hegel and the State and The Star of Redemption.
