Sommario/riassunto |
|
In this addition to the field of Jewish ethics, Goodman argues that the Jewish tradition has a significant contribution to make to the general discourse on ethical issues. Refuting the notion that ""human rights"" is a modern issue, he traces the idea of such rights to biblical sources. |
