Sommario/riassunto |
|
Are there theoretical grounds for tolerance in the classical Jewish tradition? Is human autonomy endorsed by Judaism? What is the range of attitudes toward pleasure that has found expression in Jewish sources? What does Maimonides have to say about joy, and what does Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik teach about human suffering? This volume of essays examines these and many other key questions about Judaism from the rigorous perspective of philosophical analysis. Unlike most scholarship in Jewish philosophy, which approaches the field primarily from the perspective of intellectual history, this volume also engages in active philosophical dialogue with the texts and thinkers it addresses. Judaism Examined is a much-needed answering voice to the perennial questions of Jewish philosophy. |

Navidad: nada más alejado. Adondequiera que Holly mire, desde las pilas de regalos hasta los miles de duendes alegres que trabajan intensamente, encuentra formas de mejorar toda la operación navideña. Ni siquiera Nick Claus, el encantador hijo de Santa, logra inculcarle el espíritu navideño. Holly debe admitir que Nick es carismático y atractivo, pero su costado amante de la diversión no oculta su falta de ética laboral. Recién cuando Holly cancela el proyecto favorito de Nick y pone en peligro la Navidad de miles de niños, se da cuenta de que el hombre al que subestima por holgazán puede ser el único capaz de enseñarle sobre la alegría de esta Fiesta. |
