OverviewJewish 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 Haggai Ben-Shammai, Department of Arabic Language and Literature, Hebrew University of Jerusalem; Alexander Broadie, Department of Philosophy, University of Glasgow; Elisheva Carlebach, Department of Full Product DetailsAuthor: Daniel Frank , Oliver LeamanPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd Imprint: Routledge Edition: New edition Dimensions: Width: 15.60cm , Height: 5.10cm , Length: 23.40cm Weight: 1.760kg ISBN: 9780415324694ISBN 10: 0415324696 Pages: 952 Publication Date: 20 November 2003 Audience: College/higher education , Professional and scholarly , Tertiary & Higher Education , Undergraduate Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
