In "The Pale God", Katz deals with the relationship between
secularism and religious tradition. Katz begins with a description
of the secular options as expressed by Israeli intellectuals, which
he claims have led to a dead-end, and that new options must be
sought. One of the key sources for this option is the works of
Spinoza, which Katz explains is unlike Nietzsche's catchphrase 'the
death of God'. In his view, Spinoza tried to undermine the
authority of religious virtuosos and establish the image of a
rational "Pale God". Such changes could channel religious tradition
to the basic principles of secular political rule. Katz then sums
up his discussion by showing that the secular option is inherent in
Israeli society, and fits the type of secularism that Zionism
instilled in the Jewish people and complements the traditional
trends already deeply rooted there.
