Paradigms in Jewish PhilosophyRaphael Jospe Paradigms in Jewish Philosophy examines four key themes basic to teaching Jewish philosophy in the university, beginning with the fundamental questions of how Jewish philosophy is to be conceived and taught in terms of its definition and periodization. The need for inclusion of nonphilosophic texts is discussed, as is the formative modern period of Jewish philosophy. The book concludes with an analysis of the contributions of Emanuel Levinas. |
