In my paper I will attempt a new way of addressing the theoretical core of Rosenzweig’s
theory of miracle, focusing on two aspects : a) the structural relationship between the experience
of miracle and « the little word ‘and’ », or better the specific logic that this implies ; b) the
profound consonance of Rosenzweig’s reflections with some emergent instances from the philosophical
elaboration of the miracle by the nascent phenomenology of religion ; instances that reaffirm
and deepen a ‘phenomenological’ aspect of Rosenzweig’s thought noted by more than one
interpreter. Indeed, when applied to miracle, the logic of the « and » shows the traits of an epoché.
