Encounters of Consequence : Jewish Philosophy in the Twentieth Century and Beyond PDF
by Michael Oppenheim
Part of the Judaism and Jewish Life series
Description
Encounters of Consequence provides an introduction to and deeper analysis of the situation of Jewish philosophy beginning in the last century.
It charts Jewish philosophy's engagement with modernity and post-modernity along two overlapping axes-issues and persons-which often intersect.
Key issues in modern Jewish philosophy are raised, including: the nature of Judaism and Jewish identity, the quests for meaning and continuity, the value of remaining a Jew, and the relevance of Jewish law, as well as the challenges of secularism, modern history (including the Holocaust), feminism and religious pluralism.
Featured are many philosophers of encounter: Franz Rosenzweig, Martin Buber, and Emmanuel Levinas, as well as Joseph Soloveitchik, Gershom Scholem, Arthur Cohen, Eliezer Schweid, Emil Fackenheim, and Irving Greenberg.
