Abstract

It is hard to grasp the ultimate meaning of one of the most controversial passages in Genesis, namely Jacob’s all-night struggle with a mysterious figure. A recent volume by Roberto Esposito analyzes the extraordinary influence of this episode in philosophy, literature, art, politics and psychoanalysis. The passionate investigation of this «irruption» in Scripture explores the stages of the phenomenology of conscience in the Old Testament and the experience of religious conscience as such.
