The Routledge Companion to Jewish Philosophy is a deep and broad reference that brings diverse perspectives to bear on the key topics, problems, and debates in Jewish philosophy and philosophical theology. The 37 chapters were written by an international team of experts from different traditions in philosophy and beyond and appear in print for the first time in this Companion. The chapters are divided into ten major sections:
I. God
II. Humanity
III. From God to Us
IV. From Us to God
V. Jewish Mysticism
VI. Faith and Reason
VII. Judaism and Normativity
VIII. Judaism and Politics
IX. Judaism and Other Faiths
X. Times and Trends
A list of Related Topics at the end of each chapter and a comprehensive index at the back of the volume help readers navigate the Companion, and Further Reading sections at the end of each chapter identify the best avenues for future research. The volume is essential reading for students and scholars interested in Jewish philosophy, theology, religious studies and related subjects.
"This excellent volume is a most welcome addition to the burgeoning literature on Jewish philosophy. It is notable for the breadth of the subjects it covers and for the outstanding contributors who write on them. The anthology ranges from standard topics such as the problem of evil to newer topics such as feminist Jewish philosophy. It also covers specifically Jewish topics such as tzimtzum and halakhah. The volume therefore serves as an exceptionally good introduction to the great Jewish tradition of philosophy and also contributes to the on-going development of that tradition by those expert in it." -- Eleonore Stump,Saint Louis University, USA.
"The impressive size of this volume is yet outmatched by the masterful comprehensiveness of topics and variety of methodological approaches.There has never been anything like this in the field of Jewish Philosophy, with chapters ranging from excellent to brilliant, authored by the best of the best in their fields. With praise to the Editors of this volume for putting contemporary Jewish philosophy solidly on the map for philosophy today." -- Jerome Yehuda Gellman, Ben-Gurion University, Israel.
