What is fair? How and when can punishment be legitimate? Is there
recompense for human suffering? How can we understand ideas about
immortality or an afterlife in the context of critical thinking on
the human condition? In this book L. E. Goodman presents the first
general theory of justice in this century to make systematic use of
the Jewish sources and to bring them into a philosophical dialogue
with the leading ethical and political texts of the Western
tradition. Goodman takes an ontological approach to questions of
natural and human justice, developing a theory of community and of
nonvindictive yet retributive punishment that is grounded in
careful analysis of various Jewish sources-biblical, rabbinic, and
philosophical, His exegesis of these sources allow Plato, Kant, and
Rawls to join in a discourse with Spinoza and medieval
rationalists, such as Saasidah and Maimonides, who speak in a very
different idiom but address many of the same themes. Drawing on
sources old and new, Jewish and non-Jewish, Goodman offers fresh
perspectives on important moral and theological issues that will be
of interest to both Jewish and secular philosophers.
