Providing a concise but comprehensive overview of Joseph B.
Soloveitchik's larger philosophical program, this book studies one
of the most important modern Orthodox Jewish thinkers. It
incorporates much relevant biographical, philosophical, religious,
legal, and historical background so that the content and difficult
philosophical concepts are easily accessible. The volume describes
his view of Jewish law (Halakhah) and how he answers the
fundamental question of Jewish philosophy, namely, the "reasons"
for the commandments. It shows how many of his disparate books,
essays, and lectures on law, specific commandments, and Jewish
religious phenomenology can be woven together to form an elegant
philosophical program. It also provides an analysis and summary of
Soloveitchik's views on Zionism and on interreligious dialogue and
the contexts for Soloveitchik's respective stances on issues that
were pressing in his role as a leader of a major branch of post-war
Orthodox Judaism. The book provides a synoptic overview of the
philosophical works of Joseph B. Soloveitchik. It will be of
interest to historians and scholars studying neo-Kantian
philosophy, Jewish thought, and philosophy of religion.
