In it, James Diamond belies the all too common prejudice, held by many Jews and non-Jews, that Judaism cannot be the subject of philosophic reflection because it only presents laws, but no ideas. By carefully overcoming that prejudice, he has shown that genuine philosophic reflection speaks in the first person. In this book, Diamond has found his own voice, therefore putting himself in the company of those Jewish thinkers only about whom he has written heretofore. That is a noteworthy achievement. * David Novak, F.R.S.C., J. Richard and Dorothy Shiff Professor of Jewish Studies and Philosophy, University of Toronto * Author InformationJames A.
