It charts Jewish philosophy's engagement with modernity and post-modernity along two overlapping axes-issues and persons-which often intersect. Key issues in modern Jewish philosophy are raised, including: the nature of Judaism and Jewish identity, the quests for meaning and continuity, the value of remaining a Jew, and the relevance of Jewish law, as well as the challenges of secularism, modern history (including the Holocaust), feminism and religious pluralism. Featured are many philosophers of encounter: Franz Rosenzweig, Martin Buber, and Emmanuel Levinas, as well as Joseph Soloveitchik, Gershom Scholem, Arthur Cohen, Eliezer Schweid, Emil Fackenheim, and Irving Greenberg. 410 0$aJudaism and Jewish life. 606 $aJewish philosophy$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJewish philosophers$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPhilosophy, Modern$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJewish philosophy$xHistory 615 0$aJewish philosophers$xHistory 615 0$aPhilosophy, Modern 676 $a181/.06 700 $aOppenheim$b Michael D.$f1946-$01033029 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457942003321 996 $aEncounters of consequence$92451259 997 $aUNINA
