| Summary: | This article is dedicated to some Kabbalistic myths, motifs and themes present in the thought of those Jewish thinkers who worked on the problem of God, religion and evil in the post-Holocaust period. It seems to be evident that such philosophers as E. Berkovits, E. Fackenheim, H. Jonas and R.L. Rubenstein consciously referred to some old ideas of Jewish mystics, while creating their concepts of God, man and world, as the Kabbalistic perception of beings and phenomena could save - to some extent, at least - the Jewish metaphysical tradition, after the tremendum of Auschwitz. Only the image of a weak and suffering God or a Godhead in need of man’s help is able to explain the enormous tragedy of the Jewish nation. At the same time, such an idea of God corresponds quite well with Albert Einstein’s concept of the sublimated “cosmic religion”, which is perceived by the thinker as accessible to very few, and confessed by very few believers. |
