History of Jewish Philosophy: 2 (Routledge History of World Philosophies)

Críticas:

"This anthology of articles on Jewish philosophy is organized under four chronological periods ... This volume is well conceived, and it is obvious that the editors worked hard to shape the individual contributions into a coherent research tool that will be useful to scholars, students, and laypersons for years to come." -"Choice, May 1997 "The clarity of the writing style in many of the essays makes the book accessible to general readers as well as to scholars. "History of Jewish Philosophy is an indispensable reference that brilliantly captures in one volume the broad range of Jewish philosophy. Libraries should be urged by their Jewish patrons to acquire this essential volume.." -Dade Jewish Journal, 16-22 May 1997

Reseña del editor:

Jewish philosophy is often presented as an addendum to Jewish religion rather than as a rich and varied tradition in its own right, but the History of Jewish Philosophy explores the entire scope and variety of Jewish philosophy from philosophical interpretations of the Bible right up to contemporary Jewish feminist and postmodernist thought. The links between Jewish philosophy and its wider cultural context are stressed, building up a comprehensive and historically sensitive view of Jewish philosophy and its place in the development of philosophy as a whole.

Includes:
· Detailed discussions of the most important Jewish philosophers and philosophical movements
· Descriptions of the social and cultural contexts in which Jewish philosophical thought developed throughout the centuries
· Contributions by 35 leading scholars in the field, from Britain, Canada, Israel and the US
· Detailed and extensive bibliographies
