Product Description

This book provides an introduction and deeper analysis of the situation of Jewish philosophy in the last century and beyond. It charts Jewish philosophy's engagement with modernity and post-modernity along two overlapping axes; underlying issues and significant twentieth century Jewish philosophers. Throughout its history, modern Jewish philosophy has confronted such issues as: the nature of Judaism, Jewish identity, meaning, continuity, the value of remaining a Jew, authority and change in Jewish law, and the particular challenges of history (including the Holocaust), feminist Judaism, and religious pluralism. Featured are those philosophers of encounter: Franz Rosenzweig, Martin Buber, and Emmanuel Levinas, as well as Joseph Soloveitchik, Gershom Scholem, .Arthur Cohen, Eliezer Schweid, Emil Fackenheim, and Irving Greenberg.
