Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'This volume offers a 'big-tent' approach to the semantic and substantive questions of the overlapping categories of modern Jewish thought, theology, and philosophy ... a generous view of the boundaries of the field lead to inclusion of themes and thinkers too often left out in earlier outlines of the 'canon', such as the theme of aesthetics, the contributions of Eastern European thinkers, and the relationship to the medievals. The book is organized thematically, and assumes a basic familiarity with the central figures in the history of Jewish thought in the modern period. It is a wise organizational choice that leads to fresh readings and pairings.' Religious Studies Review
