  1. “A Life for a Life”: a Jewish Anti-Abortive Technique in Early Modern Italy and Its Many Inter- and Intracultural Ramifications.Alessia Bellusci - 2025 - Journal of Jewish Thought and Philosophy 33 (1):151-171.
    With this article, I seek to demonstrate how the analysis of Jewish magical texts may aid in the identification of hidden aspects of premodern Jewish women’s everyday life and material culture. I do so by focusing on the interplay between magic and childbirth among premodern Italian Jews. I analyze a magical recipe for avoiding a stillbirth preserved in a Hebrew codex of magical interest penned in central Italy at the end of the eighteenth century. Along with providing an edition and (...)

  2. The Secrets of Conception: Somatogenic and Magical Approaches to Love in Learned Medicine and East European Jewish Books of Secrets.Andrea Gondos - 2025 - Journal of Jewish Thought and Philosophy 33 (1):110-150.
    This article traces four learned non-Jewish approaches to lovesickness informed primarily by the humoral formulation of illness. These competing theories will be further examined in the writings of professionally trained Jewish physicians and in the manuscript compilations of East European ba‘alei shem, who combined materia medica with Jewish magic and practical Kabbalah in their therapeutic remedies. The article demonstrates that in premodern times, love – in all its emotional and somatogenic facets – was a gendered phenomenon. Within the hierarchy of (...)

  3. ʾAsya Ḳarṭinah’s Book of Medicines and the Shekhinah’s Lovesickness: Notes on Medicine and Kabbalah in Zoharic Literature.Assaf Tamari - 2025 - Journal of Jewish Thought and Philosophy 33 (1):82-109.
    This article examines the intersection of medicine, as both knowledge and practice, and theology in the context of the Zoharic literature, the acme of medieval Kabbalah. Focusing on the Tiḳuney Zohar, it demonstrates its author’s expertise in state-of-the-art high medieval medical discourse, and its importance within his writing. The article demonstrates how the physician becomes a favored epistemic model in two related narratives: the Zoharic discussion of an ideal physician named ʾAsya Ḳarṭinah, and a Tiḳuney Zohar narrative portraying the exiled (...)

  4. A Figura of the Soul: Visualizing the Three Faculties of the Soul in a Hebrew Manuscript.Sivan Gottlieb - 2025 - Journal of Jewish Thought and Philosophy 33 (1):38-81.
    The headline “This figure is drawn to show all the faculties of the soul” introduces a diagram in a fifteenth-century Hebrew manuscript from Italy (Cambridge MS Dd.10.68). This distinctive composition, echoed in only one similar example, synthesizes textual and visual sources about the soul and the brain. Diverging from conventional medieval diagrams, this form highlights the innovative spirit of its creator. This article analyzes the integrated text, its sources, and the form of the diagram, shedding light on the practice of (...)

  5. Sefer Asaf: Early Medieval Jewish Theory and Practice from the Middle East to Byzantine Italy.Tamás Visi - 2025 - Journal of Jewish Thought and Philosophy 33 (1):12-37.
    The origins of Sefer Asaf can be reconstructed as follows. In the mid-eighth century a group of Jews learned medicine from dyophysite Christian monks in Western Iran. They paraphrased a few short Syriac texts in Hebrew and used them as reference books. During the ninth century, some of these Jewish healers migrated to Southern Italy, where they learned Greek and studied Greek medical literature. They paraphrased some works of Hippocrates and a Greek uroscopic compendium in Hebrew. They added these new (...)

  9. Degrees of Divine Revelation.Avraham Sommer - forthcoming - Journal of Analytic Theology.
    This paper evaluates two theories of divine revelation due to the Jewish analytic theologians Samuel Lebens and Jerome Gellman. Specifically, it investigates how well those two theories explain a claim about divine revelation implied in some Jewish sources: the claim that divine revelation comes in degrees. After showing how some sources imply that divinely revealed texts vary in the degree to which they are divinely revealed, the paper argues that Gellman’s moderate-providence-based theory of revelation explains this claim better than Lebens's (...)

  14. Truth, philosophers, and prophets: critical study of Isaac Albalag's Sefer Tiqqun ha-deʻot.Bakinaz Khalifa Abdalla - 2024 - Boston: Brill.
    This book focuses on Isaac Albalag's perspective on the relationship between religion and philosophy. In Sefer Tiqqun ha-De'ot, a Hebrew translation with a commentary of al-Gazali's Arabic philosophical encyclopedia Maqasid al-Falasifah, Albalag indicates his adherence to what is known in scholarship as the double-truth doctrine. By analysing the Tiqqun against its philosophical background and its critical engagement with the Maqasid, this book demonstrates Albalag's unyielding commitment to Aristotelianism, as known to him through Averroes's lens, concluding that his apparent embrace of (...)

The book originated in a series of five studies Wolfson published in the Chronicon Spinozanum between 1921 and 1926. In the Chronicon, Wolfson announced that the studies published in the journal are instalments from a planned larger work, to be titled: “Spinoza, the Last of the Mediaevals: A Study of the Ethica Ordine Geometrico (...)

  21. The Nature of Halakha: Philosophical Investigations.Israel J. Cohen - 2024 - Dissertation, Hebrew University of Jerusalem
    In my dissertation, "The Nature of Halakha: Philosophical Investigations," I explore the metaphysics of Halakha using contemporary analytical philosophy. The central question guiding my research is: How are the natural world and the world of Halakha related, according to the underlying assumptions of Halakha? My work consists of three papers addressing the relationship between natural facts and halakhic facts. In the first paper, I propose a shift from the traditional debate between halakhic realism and nominalism to a discussion of halakhic (...)

  22. Jewish Socratic questions in an age without Plato: permitting and forbidding open-inquiry in 12-15th century Europe and North Africa.Yehuda Halper - 2021 - Boston: Brill.
    Yehuda Halper examines Jewish depictions of Socrates and Socratic questioning of the divine among European and North African Jews of the 12th-15th centuries. Without direct access to Plato, their understanding of Socrates is indirect, based on legendary material, on fragmentary quotations from Plato, or on Aristotle. Out of these sources, Jewish authors of this period formed two distinct views of Socrates: one as a wise, ascetic, monotheist, and the other as a vocal skeptic. The latter view has its roots in (...)

  30. What is Responsibility Toward the Past? Ethical, Existential, and Transgenerational Dimensions.Natan Elgabsi - 2024 - History and Theory:1-24.
    Today, there is a growing interest in the ethics of the human and social sciences, and in the discussions surrounding these topics, notions such as responsibility toward the past are often invoked. But those engaged in these discussions seldom acknowledge that there are at least two distinct logics of responsibility underlying many debates. These logics permeate a Western scholarly tradition but are seldom explicitly discussed. The two logics follow the Latin and Hebrew concepts of responsibility: spondeo and acharayut. The purpose (...)

  31. The Kabbalistic Sefirot: Terminological and Structural Anticipations in Early Jewish and Christian Literature.Samuel Zinner - 2024 - Journal of Jewish Thought and Philosophy 32 (2):225-266.
    Lists of personified virtues in ancient Jewish and Christian texts offer remote intellectual anticipations of names and structural configurations of later kabbalistic sefirot. These parallels indicate that various Jewish-oriented Christian sources preserved and mediated some traditions that later came to circulate in Jewish kabbalistic circles.

A report of this discovery is to be found, I show, in the exchange between Buber and Rosenzweig during their translation of Exodus, as recorded in the Working Papers (Arbeitspapiere). The significance of Rosenzweig’s account of the divine name only becomes (...)

    All adherents of hard determinism face a number of steep challenges; those with traditional religious commitments face still further challenges. In this paper I treat one such further challenge. The challenge, in brief, is that given hard determinism, it’s very difficult to say why God couldn’t, and why God wouldn’t, just immediately and directly realize the final end of creation. I develop the challenge, and a number of solutions, through the work of the medieval Jewish philosopher, Hasdai Crescas. After arguing (...)

  45. Buber's Idea of Community: Towards a Foundation of Political Life.Federico Filauri - 2024 - European Judaism 57 (1):39-52.
    This article suggests that Buber's idea of the community may hint at an alternative to the more common foundations of political thought, usually grounded on notions of power or rationality. Showing how Buber's idea of the community developed from a neo-romantic form (in his early writings) to a principle informed by the dialogical dimension of human life (from I and Thou onwards), I will point out the vertical dimension of political life ensuing from Buber's discourse. A discussion of the theopolitical (...)

    Gersonides' Afterlife is the first full-scale treatment of the reception of one of the greatest scientific minds of medieval Judaism: Gersonides (1288-1344). An outstanding representative of the Hebrew Jewish culture that then flourished in southern France, Gersonides wrote on mathematics, logic, astronomy, astrology, physical science, metaphysics and theology, and commented on almost the entire bible. His strong-minded attempt to integrate these different areas of study into a unitary system of thought was deeply rooted in the Aristotelian tradition and yet innovative (...)
