This book aims to construct a contemporary Jewish philosophy that
accounts for virtue ethics or, rather, to give Jewish virtue ethics
a contemporary language for its expression. Ira Bedzow draws
significantly on the work of Moses Maimonides and his
religio-philosophical explanation of Jewish ethics. However, Bedzow
moves away from various aspects of Maimonides's Aristotelian
biology, physics, metaphysics, and psychology. The objective of the
volume is to integrate the normative principles of the Jewish
tradition into everyday life. While the book translates Jewish
ethics from a medieval, Aristotelian framework into a contemporary
one, it also serves as a means for Judaism to continue as a living
tradition.
