Abraham, the first biblical philosopher, calls out to the world in God's name exactly as Plato calls out in the name of the Forms. Abraham comes forward as a critic of pagan thought about, specifically, persons. Moses, to whom the baton is passed, spells out the practical implications of the Bible's core anthropological teachings. In Persons and Other Things Mark Glouberman explores the Bible's philosophy, roughing out in the course of a defence of it how men and women who see themselves in the biblical portrayal (as he argues that most of us do once the "religious" glare is reduced) are committed to conduct their personal affairs, arrange their social ties, and act in the natural world. Persons and Other Things is also the author's testament about the practice of philosophy. Glouberman sets out, and in the chapters that pursue the theme he puts into practice, the lessons he has acquired as a lifelong learner about thinking philosophically, about writing philosophy, and about philosophers. Persons and Other Things looks closely at the Bible as a philosophical work, asking insightful questions about how to interpret the Hebrew Bible, what it means to be Jewish, and how to live a meaningful and moral life."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aJewish philosophy 606 $aRELIGION / Philosophy$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aChristopher Hitchens. 610 $aGod in the Hebrew Bible. 610 $aJewish. 610 $aJudaism. 610 $ahalakhah. 610 $ametaphysics. 610 $amonotheism. 610 $aontology. 610 $apersons. 610 $aphilosophy. 610 $areligion and religiosity. 610 $athe category of the particular. 610 $awriting philosophy. 615 0$aJewish philosophy. 615 7$aRELIGION / Philosophy. 676 $a221.601 686 $acci1icc$2lacc 700 $aGlouberman$b Mark$01668799 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910862000003321 996 $aPersons and Other Things$94167783 997 $aUNINA
