In the first part, it is concerned with the foundations of Jewish philosophy, its nature as philosophical science and as wisdom. The second part is devoted to certain elements and challenges of the humanist and Renaissance period as reflected in Judaism: historical consciousness and the sciences, utopian tradition, the legal status of the Jews in Christian political tradition and in Jewish political thought, aesthetic concepts of the body and conversion.Supplements to The journal of Jewish thought and philosophy ;v. 8.Jewish philosophyHistoryJewsPolitics and governmentPhilosophyJudaism and politicsJewish philosophyHistory.JewsPolitics and governmentPhilosophy.Judaism and politics.181/.06Veltri Giuseppe598858MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818963803321Renaissance Philosophy in Jewish garb4079641UNINA
