Maurice blanchot y el judaísmo

This paper aims to study the links between the critical work of Maurice Blanchot (1907-2003) and Judaism. With this goal, it reviews the issue of his premature anti- Semitism, his fascination for the Jewish thing in his later work, and some guidance from his reflection that allow assessing the relationship between his thinking and the theological foundations of the Jewish religion: Scripture, Jewish a-theism and eschatological horizon. Finally, we show that the reading of Judaism made by Blanchot starts from a liberal interpretation of that tradition which dilutes his fundamental theological premises. This allows combining it with a neo-pagan conception of time and history.
