Oskar Goldberg

Oskar Goldberg (1885 – 1952) was a German-Jewish philosopher and trained physician. Goldberg was brought to fame by his interpretation of the Torah and kabbalistic approach to Jewish philosophy. An idiosyncratic thinker, his wide ranging interests covered subjects ranging from mysticism, theology, metaphysics, folklore, naturopathy, and spirit photography.

Goldberg initiated several philosophical societies, notably the "Philosophische Gruppe" in Berlin which was frequented by authors and thinkers such as Günther Anders, Berthold Brecht, Walter Benjamin, Karl Korsch, Alfred Döblin, Gershom Scholem and Robert Musil.
