45 Great Philosophers and What They Mean for Judaism

About this book

In this new forty-five-chapter series, Rabbi Shmuly explores forty-five of the most influential philosophers throughout history and how Jewish ideas might engage with each of the philosophers and their philosophical projects. At times, Judaism may need to reject harmful, foreign ideas. Other times, Judaism may need to adapt, integrate, and expand. There are many other approaches we'll see of how Jewish thought canengage with other philosophies as well. In this exciting new exploration, we learn about Jewish intellectual history and what it means for us today.
