The Bible is an enduring source of inspiration for the human heart and mind, and readers of Thinking about the Torah will be rewarded with an enhanced understanding of this great work's deeper meanings.

Searching for a Distant God: The Legacy of Maimonides
ISBN: 9780195128468 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Monotheism is usually considered Judaism's greatest contribution to world culture, but it is far from clear what monotheism is. This work examines the notion that monotheism is not so much a claim about the number of God as a claim about the nature of God. Seeskin argues that the idea of a God who is separate from his creation and unique is not just an abstraction but a suitable basis for worship. He examines this conclusion in the contexts of prayer, creation, sabbath observance, repentance, religious freedom, and love of God. Maimonides plays a central role in the argument both because of...

Jewish Messianic Thoughts in an Age of Despair
ISBN: 9781107662315 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Belief in the coming of a Messiah poses a genuine dilemma. From a Jewish perspective, the historical record is overwhelmingly against it. If, despite all the tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people, no legitimate Messiah has come forward, has the belief not been shown to be groundless? Yet for all the problems associated with messianism, the historical record also shows it is an idea with enormous staying power. The prayer book mentions it on page after page. The great Jewish philosophers all wrote about it. Secular thinkers in the twentieth century returned to it and reformulated it....

Maimonides on the Origin of the World
ISBN: 9780521697521 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Although Maimonides' discussion of creation is one of his greatest contributions - he himself claims that belief in creation is second in importance only to belief in God - there is still considerable debate on what that contribution was. Kenneth Seeskin takes a close look at the problems Maimonides faced and the sources from which he drew. He argues that Maimonides meant exactly what he said: the world was created by a free act of God so that the existence of everything other than God is contingent. In religious terms, existence is a gift. In order to reach this conclusion, Seeskin examines...

The Cambridge Companion to Maimonides
ISBN: 9780521525787 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Moses ben Maimon, known to English speaking audiences as Maimonides (1138-1204), represents the high point of Jewish rationalism in the middle ages and played a pivotal role in the transition of philosophical interest from the Islamic East to the Christian West. His greatest philosophical work, The Guide of the Perplexed had a decisive impact on all subsequent Jewish thought and is still the subject of intense scholarly debate. The twelve essays in this volume by recognized scholars offer a comprehensive interpretation of his life and thought.

Autonomy in Jewish Philosophy
ISBN: 9780521114622 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Although it is customary to view Judaism as a legalistic faith leaving little room for free thought or individual expression, Kenneth Seeskin argues that this view is wrong. Looking at classic texts from Biblical, Rabbinic, and philosophical literature, Seeskin shows that Judaism has always respected freedom of conscience and assigned an important role to the power of human reason. Clear and concise, this book offers a refreshing alternative to the mysticism and dogmatism prevalent in much of the recent literature.

Dialogue and Discovery
ISBN: 9780887063367 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 179 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book examines the Socratic method of elenchus, or refutation. Refutation by its very nature is a conflict, which in the hands of Plato becomes high drama. The continuing conversation in which it occurs is more a test of character than of intellect. Dialogue and Discovery shows that, in his conversations, Socrates seeks to define moral qualities--moral essences--with the goal of improving the soul of the respondent. Ethics underlies epistemology because the discovery of philosophic truth imposes moral demands on the respondent. The recognition that moral qualities such as honesty,...
