Recenzijos
"This excellent volume is a most welcome addition to the burgeoning literature on Jewish philosophy. It is notable for the breadth of the subjects it covers and for the outstanding contributors who write on them. The anthology ranges from standard topics such as the problem of evil to newer topics such as feminist Jewish philosophy. It also covers specifically Jewish topics such as tzimtzum and halakhah. The volume therefore serves as an exceptionally good introduction to the great Jewish tradition of philosophy and also contributes to the on-going development of that tradition by those expert in it." -- Eleonore Stump, Saint Louis University, USA.
"The impressive size of this volume is yet outmatched by the masterful comprehensiveness of topics and variety of methodological approaches.There has never been anything like this in the field of Jewish Philosophy, with chapters ranging from excellent to brilliant, authored by the best of the best in their fields. With praise to the Editors of this volume for putting contemporary Jewish philosophy solidly on the map for philosophy today." -- Jerome Yehuda Gellman, Ben-Gurion University, Israel.
