Opis

This book argues that Jewish values are not fixed propositions embedded in written form that can be easily handed off from one generation to the next. Jewish values are necessarily the product of contemporary Jewish minds.

Recenzje

"Pava brings together a sensitive attention to business realities and Jewish values. His approach to those values is both traditional and modern, uniting deep traditions of Jewish humanism with modern philosophical expressions of a progressive point of view...Also of great value is the book's pedagogical focus. Pava draws on his rich experience as a teacher of business ethics in a religious educational institution to address the special challenges of such teaching. He further uses this context to illustrate the reality and complexities in his overarching theme of ethical dialogue." - Ronald M. Green, Eunice and Julian Cohen Professor for the Study of Ethics and Human Values, Director of the Ethics Institute, Dartmouth College
