Exile and Restoration in Jewish Thought: An Essay In Interpretation: Continuum Studies in Jewish Thought
Autor Ralph Keenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 oct 2011
Exile
and
Restoration
in
Jewish
Thoughtpresents
the
history
of
an
idea
originating
at
the
intersection
of
Judaic
piety
and
the
social
history
of
the
Jews:
faith
in
a
protective
sovereign
deity
amid
contrary
conditions.
Exiled
primordially
(Eden),
during
the
Patriarchal
era,
in
the
sixth
century
bce,
and
from
the
first
century
to
the
twentieth,
the
Jewish
experience
of
alienation
has
been
the
historical
backdrop
against
which
affirmations
of
divine
benevolence
have
been
constructed.
While histories of Jewish thought have tended to accentuate the speculative creativity of medieval and modern Jewish philosophers, the intellectual tradition can come into focus only with attention to these thinkers' understanding of diaspora and persecution.
Ralph Keen describes the distinguishing feature of Jewish thought as a religious hermeneutic in which the primitive promise made to Abraham is preserved not just as a pious memory but as a certain hope for eventual restoration. Intended for readers with some familiarity with the history of philosophy, this book offers the historical context necessary for understanding the distinctively Judaic character of this tradition of thought, and elucidates the role of religious experience in the long process of negotiating between adversity and expectation.

Recenzii
"Lucidly
composed
and
eminently
accessible,
this
new
book
brilliantly
illuminates
the
history
of
Jewish
and
general
European
thought
and
the
relationship
between
them.
Even
in
the
case
of
thinkers
whose
work
I
thought
I
knew
well,
I
often
found
myself
stopping
to
ponder
the
remarkable
insights
it
offers
and
connections
it
suggests.
Strongly
recommended."
