Description


Breaking with strictly historical or textual perspectives, this bookexplores Jewish philosophy as philosophy. Often regarded as too technical for Judaicstudies and too religious for philosophy departments, Jewish philosophy has had anambiguous position in the academy. These provocative essays propose new models forthe study of Jewish philosophy that embrace wider intellectual arenas -- includinglinguistics, poetics, aesthetics, and visual culture -- as a path towardunderstanding the particular philosophic concerns of Judaism. As they reread classicJewish texts, the essays articulate a new set of questions and demonstrate thevitality and originality of Jewish philosophy.
