Description

This volume concentrates upon those philosophers who were or are consciously writing from a Jewish background and who take the text of the Jewish Bible and the history of the Jewish people as problems to be philosophically interpreted.

The Routledge History of Jewish Philosophy presents all major schools of thought and controversies in a collection of essays by internationally acknowledged scholars. It brings together experts in the field who write clearly and with philosophical acuity on their particular topics. Their discussion ranges from the Bible itself to postmodern thought, from Moses Maimonides to those who discuss the nature of the Holocaust. Throughout the volume, the authors insist on the importance of understanding the social and cultural context in which Jewish philosophy exists. This unprecedented variety of perspectives and the range of ideas discussed make this volume a unique approach to the history of Jewish philosophy.
