Lenn E. Goodman

Judaism (eBook, ePUB)

A Contemporary Philosophical Investigation

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Judaism, as a religion and a way of life, has guided millions of lives and profoundly influenced its younger sisters, Christianity and Islam, as well as contributing major themes and norms to the liberal and humanistic traditions of the West. 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. This book examines some of the central questions around Judaism, drawing on the ancient and more recent sources of Jewish thought, as viewed from a contemporary philosophical standpoint.
