Sommario/riassunto: | Could a religiously observant Jew, in good conscience, run as a Libertarian candidate, promoting a Libertarian platform? Or, would doing so betray fundamental Jewish values? Running in Good Faith? Observant Judaism and Libertarian Politics considers the seemingly irreconcilable values and political commitments of Judaism and Libertarianism. The latter prizes individualism, self-ownership, private property, and freedom, whereas the former emphasizes community, charity, and service of God. This book seeks to determine if we find here an essential clash, or merely an apparent one. This book stimulates a broad discussion of Judaism, values, politics, and political philosophy and calls into question what people think they know, about both Judaism and Libertarianism. |
