Adam Zachary Newton shows how the question of nationalism that has so long haunted Western philosophy—the question of who belongs within its "fence," and who outside—has long been the concern of Jewish thought and its preoccupation with law, limits, and the place of Israel among the nations. To those unfamiliar with Talmudic thought Newton shows how deeply its language and concerns shape Levinas. He also offers an introduction to Leibowitz, a conservative religious thinker who was an outspoken gadfly and radically critical voice in the Israeli political scene. Together, their common origin in Jewish Eastern Europe, a common concern with national allegiance, and the common fence of religious Judaism that makes them intellectual neighbors are voiced in penetrating and original dialogue.SUNY Series in Jewish PhilosophyJewish philosophyJewsIdentityJewsPolitics and government1948-Philosophy, Modern20th centuryJewish philosophy.JewsIdentity.JewsPolitics and governmentPhilosophy, Modern181/.06Newton Adam Zachary847006MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817830303321The fence and the neighbor4095405UNINA
