For thousands of years the Jewish tradition has been a source of
moral guidance, for Jews and non-Jews alike. As the essays in this
volume show, the theologians and practitioners of Judaism have a
long history of wrestling with moral questions, responding to them
in an open, argumentative mode that reveals the strengths and
weaknesses of all sides of a question. The Jewish tradition also
offers guidance for moral conduct in both children and adults, and
how to motivate people to do the right thing despite weakness and
temptation. The Oxford Handbook of Jewish Ethics and Morality
offers a collection of original essays addressing these
topics-historical and contemporary, as well as philosophical and
practical-by leading scholars from around the world. The first
section of the volume describes the history of the Jewish
tradition's moral thought, from the Bible to contemporary Jewish
approaches. The second part includes chapters on specific fields in
ethics, including the ethics of medicine, business, sex, speech,
politics, war, and the environment.
