Twentieth century continental thinkers such as Bergson, Levinas and
Jonas have brought fresh and renewed attentions to Jewish ethics,
yet it still remains fairly low profile in the Anglophone academic
world. This collection of critical essays brings together the work
of established and up-and-coming scholars from Israel, the United
States, and around the world on the topic of Jewish religious and
philosophical ethics. The chapters are broken into three main
sections - Rabbinics, Philosophy, and Contemporary Challenges. The
authors address, using a variety of research strategies, the work
of both major and lesser-known figures in historical Jewish
religious and philosophical traditions. The book discusses a wide
variety of topics related to Jewish ethics, including "ethics and
the Mishnah," "Afro Jewish ethics," "Jewish historiographical
ethics," as well as the conceptual/philosophical foundations of the
law and virtues in the work of Martin Buber, Hermann Cohen, and
Baruch Spinoza.The volume closes with four contributions on
present-day frontiers in Jewish ethics. As the first book to focus
on the nature, scope and ramifications of the Jewish ethics at work
in religious and philosophical contexts, this book will be of great
interest to anyone studying Jewish Studies, Philosophy and
Religion.
