  This study looks at how the philosophies of Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) and Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1929) employ the figures of exemplarity and chosenness in order to address the tension between the universality of philosophical thinking and the particularity of nations, languages, and individual human experience.
