Not all Jews are religious, and not all of Judaism is philosophical; but at its core Judaism rests on a complex of values and ideas that address the abiding concerns of philosophy and perennial questions about the meaning and purpose of life, the nature of the universe, the roots and fruits of human responsibility, the character of justice, the worth of nature, and the dignity of persons. This book examines some of the central questions that such ideas raise, drawing on the ancient and more recent sources of Jewish thought, as viewed from a contemporary philosophical standpoint:-- Chapter 1. Biblical logic -- Chapter 2. Two epiphanies -- Chapter 3. Mosaic liberalism -- Chapter 4. Holiness -- Chapter 5. God and Israel as lovers -- Chapter 6. Regrouping |
