»Dear Sir, Teacher of Wisdom and Colleague…«
»I really like him and we find that we have an awful lot to say to each other« Gershom Scholem wrote to Walter Benjamin in 1938. With »he« Scholem meant Theodor W. Adorno, the man whom Scholem had recently met in New York. It was to be the beginning of a 30-year-long amicable and intellectual relationship as well as the prelude to a correspondence of more than 200 letters, which impressively documents an entire epoch of German-Jewish intellectual history and is for the first time...

»I really like him and we find that we have an awful lot to say to each other« Gershom Scholem wrote to Walter Benjamin in 1938. With »he« Scholem meant Theodor W. Adorno, the man whom Scholem had recently met in New York. It was to be the beginning of a 30-year-long amicable and intellectual relationship as well as the prelude to a correspondence of more than 200 letters, which impressively documents an entire epoch of German-Jewish intellectual history and is for the first time being published in its entirety.
Biographical details play as much as a role in their extremely intense epistolary relationship as philosophical-theological questions. Adorno shows a great interest in Jewish thought and delivers astute analyses of Scholem’s writings. Scholem for his part comments on Adorno’s latest publications and proves a profound expert of contemporary philosophy. Their discussions revolve around mysticism and dialectic, salvation and messianism, myth and enlightenment, and do not fail to mention Arendt and Marcuse, Heidegger and Bloch, Buber and Lukács. The politics of the day also come up for discussion, for example the situation in the Middle East or the beginnings of the student revolts. The fixed star of their correspondence is, however, their mutual friend Walter Benjamin who, unlike any other figure, represents the inner conflict of German-Jewish intellectuals in the 20th century.
»Please do make sure to arrange with the Marxist heavens, in the case that you do not enjoy diplomatic relations with any of the other sky dwellers, sunshine for March 16th.« Scholem to Adorno, 25 February 1966
»The correspondence between Theodor Adorno and Gershom Scholem reveals an intriguing friendship and one of the most important philosophical genealogies of the twentieth century. The relation between critical theory and Jewish mysticism comes to life in their exchange, clarifying how these mammoth intellectuals illuminated each other’s scholarship. Asaf Angermann’s Introduction to the volume is brilliant and insightful.« Susannah Heschel, Dartmouth College
»Gershom Scholem and Theodor Adorno were an odd couple: the first a Zionist and scholar of Kabbalah, the second a neo-Marxist philosopher who returned to Germany after the war. Yet their surprising thirty-year friendship, wonderfully expressed in this correspondence, reveals the broad horizons of these two towering intellectuals of the twentieth century.« David Biale, University of California – Davis
»Brought together by their mutual regard for Walter Benjamin and shared grief at his death, Gershom Scholem and Theodor Adorno began an unlikely, yet increasingly intense epistolary friendship. Scrupulously annotated and masterfully introduced by Asaf Angermann, their letters open a window letting in the twilight glow of a once vibrant German-Jewish culture before its passing into history.« Martin Jay, University of California – Berkeley
»The friendship between Theodor Adorno and Gershom Scholem was as fascinating as it was improbable. Dialectics came into explosive contact with the history of mysticism, sending sparks of light in a thousand directions. Their correspondence, now available in English with a superb editorial apparatus, ranks as one of the most exhilarating documents in the entire history of twentieth-century thought.« Peter Gordon, Harvard University
»This correspondence is further documentation of one of the finest hours of German-Jewish intellectual history – after the Holocaust. The comments by editor Asaf Angermann, meticulously researched in the Adorno-Archive lead by Jan Philipp Reemtsma, are a reminder of the widely ramified network of relationships between a grand generation of German-Jewish intellectuals – including rivalries and viciousness in this small academic-literary world in which Ernst Bloch and Georg Lukács, Martin Buber and Siegfried Kracauer, Helmuth Plessner, Hannah Arendt and Herbert Marcuse lived next-door to one another.« Jürgen Habermas in DIE ZEIT
