This volume of essays examines key themes in Jewish philosophy and
ethics from the rigourous perspective of philosophical analysis.
The first set of essays takes up the challenge of living a Jewish
life, and includes essays on pleasure, joy, human suffering, Jewish
ritual practice and the philosophical life. The second set of
essays analyses the value and meaning of autonomy, human freedom
and tolerance in Jewish thought, crucial themes in western
political thought and life. Other essays in the volume examine the
many meanings of Jewish texts, and such crucial issues in applied
Jewish ethics as ecology, medical ethics, and justified homicide.
Finally, a number of essays plumb the depths of one of the most
influential and creative Jewish thinkers of the twentieth century,
Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik. Taken as a whole, this volume
advances the engagement of classical Jewish themes with
Anglo-American philosophy, shedding new light both on the Jewish
tradition, and on the western philosophical enterprise.
