Although it is customary to view Judaism as a legalistic faith leaving little room for free thought or individual expression, Kenneth Seeskin argues that this view is wrong. Where some see the essence of the religion as strict obedience to divine commands, Seeskin claims that God does not just command but forms a partnership with humans requiring the consent of both parties. Looking at classic texts from Biblical, Rabbinic, and philosophical literature, Seeskin shows that Judaism has always respected freedom of conscience and assigned an important role to the power of human reason. The book considers both existing arguments and presents its own ideas about the role of autonomy in Judaism. Clear and concise, it offers a refreshing alternative to the mysticism and dogmatism prevalent in much of the literature. 606 $aAutonomy (Philosophy) 606 $aJewish philosophy 606 $aAutonomy (Psychology)$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aJewish philosophers 615 0$aAutonomy (Philosophy) 615 0$aJewish philosophy. 615 0$aAutonomy (Psychology)$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aJewish philosophers. 676 $a181/.06 700 $aSeeskin$b Kenneth$f1947-$01628150 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974021603321 996 $aAutonomy in Jewish philosophy$94424007 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05558nam 2200685Ia 450 001 9911020252303321 005 20251116163738.0 010 $a1-282-25385-9 010 $a9786613814500 010 $a0-470-61172-3 010 $a0-470-60804-8 035 $a(CKB)2550000000005882 035 $a(EBL)477670 035 $a(OCoLC)609853555 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000354497 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11275364 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000354497 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10302377 035 $a(PQKB)10433127 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC477670 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000005882 100 $a20080809d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe modeling process in geography $efrom determinism to complexity /$fedited by Yves Guermond 210 $aHoboken, NJ $cJohn Wiley & Sons$d2008 215 $a1 online resource (378 p.) 225 1 $aISTE ;$vv.127 300 $a"First published in France in 2005 by Hermes Science/Lavoisier entitled: 'Modelisations en geographie : determinismes et complexites'." 311 08$a1-84821-087-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aThe Modeling Process in Geography: From Determinism to Complexity; Table of Contents; Foreword.

In the last 50 years, the achievements of spatial analysis models opened the way to a new understanding of the relationship between society and geographical space. In this book, these models are confronted by the real conditions of territorial prospect, regional dynamism, cultural policy, HMO, and spatial segregation. This confrontation takes into account the instability of social behavior and the permanence of partial determinist traje 410 0$aISTE 606 $aRegional planning$xMathematical models 606 $aHuman geography$xMathematical models 606 $aGeographic information systems 606 $aSpatial analysis (Statistics) 615 0$aRegional planning$xMathematical models. 615 0$aHuman geography$xMathematical models. 615 0$aGeographic information systems. 615 0$aSpatial analysis (Statistics) 676 $a307.1/2 676 $a910.285 701 $aGuermond$b Yves$0305933 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911020252303321 996 $aThe modeling process in geography$94421756 997 $aUNINA
