The Principles of Judaism de Samuel Lebens

The Principles of Judaism: Oxford Studies in Analytic Theology

Autor Samuel Lebens
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 iun 2020
Samuel Lebens takes the three principles of Jewish faith, as proposed by Rabbi Joseph Albo (1380-1444), in order to scrutinize and refine them with the toolkit of contemporary analytic philosophy. What could it mean for a perfect being to create a world from nothing? Could our world be anything more than a figment of God's imagination? What is the Torah? What does Judaism expect from a Messiah, and what would it mean for a world to be redeemed? These questions are explored in conversation with a wide array of Jewish sources and with an eye towards diverse fields of contemporary research, such as cosmology, philosophical logic, the ontology of literature, and the metaphysics of time. The Principles of Judaism articulates the most fundamental axioms of Orthodox Judaism in the vernacular of contemporary philosophy.

Recenzii

... even those who reject Lebens's Orthodox triumphalism will be fascinated by his analytic approach and insightfulness. For scholars of philosophy and religion.
... the illumination that emerges from his work is more than worth the price of admission. And this aside from his truly noteworthy contribution in bringing the mystical side of Jewish thought into contact with medieval and even current analytical philosophy.
There is something strikingly brand new here, I think, in the synthesis of traditional Jewish texts and thought with the content and methods of contemporary analytic philosophy. Future histories of philosophy may well mark this moment.
A rigorous conceptual analysis of the fundamentals of Jewish faith by a bright new star in the Jewish intellectual firmament.
Lebens is one of the very best younger philosophers in the Jewish tradition working in analytic theology. The Principles of Judaism is rigorous, original, and bold in exploring a fresh articulation of the deep principles of Judaism.
This is an important book. Despite its title, it offers much to any philosopher of religion, and to philosophers in contemporary analytic metaphysics in general ... There is something strikingly brand new here, I think, in the synthesis of traditional Jewish texts and thought with the content and methods of contemporary analytic philosophy. Future histories of philosophy may well mark this moment.
