Volume Three, “The Crisis of Humanism,” commences with an important essay on the challenge to the humanist tradition posed in the late 19th century by historical materialism, existentialism and positivism. This is background for the constructive philosophies which sought at the same time to address the general crisis of moral value and provide a positive basis for Jewish existence. Among the thinkers presented in this volume are Moses Hess, Moritz Lazarus, Hermann Cohen (in impressive depth, with a thorough exposition of the Ethics and Religion of Reason), Ahad Ha-Am, I. J. Reines, Simon Dubnow, M. Y. Berdiczewski, the theorists of the Bund, Chaim Zhitlovsky, Nachman Syrkin, and Ber Borochov.Supplements to The Journal of Jewish Thought and Philosophy29.Crisis of humanismJewish philosophyPhilosophy and religionJewish philosophersJudaism and philosophyJewish philosophy.Philosophy and religion.Jewish philosophers.Judaism and philosophy.181.06Schweid Eliezer1929-2022,1207529NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910793495903321A history of modern Jewish religious philosophy3743882UNINA
