Hermann Cohen Such ambiguities between an author's intentions and the Wirkungsgeschichte of his or her books are involved when we deal with Hermann Cohen and the history of modern Jewish philosophy.

Hermann Cohen, operating as he did in a largely unsympathetic environment, went a long way towards explaining to his contemporaries the moral implications of the communal rituals and traditions of the Jewish tradition.

Cohen considered Spinoza a renegade to his people, an apostate full of hatred for the Jews, a "falsifier and slanderer of Judaism"[3], someone guilty of "a humanly incomprehensible betrayal"[4].
Cohen condemns those who choose conversion to Christianity on grounds of social expediency, such as to avoid the growing effects of anti-Jewish attacks or simply to improve their social condition or gain a better job.
Thus, Cohen defines remembering as the "psychological function of faithfulness"[14]: in the end, lack of fidelity leads to forgetting who one is and who one should become (through one's ethical improvement).

 The Journal of Textual Reasoning
Cohen's reflections on love-of-neighbor had become a canonical reference point for a modern Jewish understanding of the significance of this command to love.
Furthermore, Cohen adds that the danger of appealing to love is nowhere as evident as in the command to love thy neighbor—or at least in the discourse surrounding this command—since "neighbor"—in German "der Nächste"—has traditionally been misconstrued as the one who is "nearest" to me, that is, in terms of proximity or nearness.
Cohen was engaged in an ongoing effort to call this opposition into question, and among his procedures for doing so was the effort to show that love, desire, "heart," and conviction/belief (Gesinnungen) are indeed shown in the Jewish sources to be involved in obedience to the law.

 MyJewishLearning.com - Ideas & Belief: God in the Age of Reason
Hermann Cohen and his student, Franz Rosenzweig, stressed the ethical implications of God.
Cohen's philosophy is thus less concerned with the Jewish people in particular and more interested in the role of Judaism in the world and the Jewish duty to teach universal ethics.
The writings of both Cohen and Rosenzweig argue for Judaism as an ideal ethical religion, and for the role of God as a foundation for universal ethics, while arguing against conversion to Christianity, which was an appealing option for many of their peers.

 Hermann Cohen und die Religionsphilosophie
Cohen, der völlig voraussetzungslos die Grundlegung einer Orientierung in der Welt der Kultur suchte, war "zu seinem eigenen Erstaunen" schon in den Jahren, als er grundsätzlich das Judentum noch aus all seinen Forschungen herauslassen wollte, in seiner Ethik auf die Unumgänglichkeit des Gottesbegriffs geführt worden.
So kommt Cohen zu den beiden Grundthesen der prophetischen Religion; es gibt keine Ethik, also auch keine menschliche Kultur ohne den ethischen Monotheismus und ohne die messianische Idee der Propheten.
Was ihn religiös erfüllte und was die Religion dem Menschen und Juden wirklich bedeute, das war in der reinen Logik, Ethik und Ästhetik nicht unterzubringen.

 HERMANN COHEN
E Cohen insiste sul carattere formale sfumando la distinzione kantiana tra sensibilità ed intelletto, presentando l' Io penso in termini strettamente funzionali, eliminando di fatto il problema della cosa in sé, concepita come un puro concetto-limite.
Le dottrine esposte nel "Sistema di filosofia" costituiscono per Cohen uno sviluppo e, per così dire, un aggiornamento del pensiero di Kant: in primis, Cohen chiarisce che la filosofia è una logica della scienza, cioè del sapere universalmente valido, e ha il compito di mostrare le condizioni che rendono possibile la scienza come tale.
Cohen, dunque, respinge il materialismo marxista e ad esso contrappone una sorta di "socialismo kantiano", noto anche come "socialismo della cattedra": Kant è, a suo avviso, " il vero ed effettivo fondatore del socialismo tedesco ", giacché comanda di vedere negli altri sempre una finalità, un valore che non può essere calpestato.
