RELG 018B. Modern Jewish Thought
Is modern reason compatible with biblical revelation? Beginning with the heretic Spinoza, we’ll examine the giants of Jewish thought- religious reformers, philosophers, and theologians wrestling with the challenge of modernity, politics, and multiculturalism. Topics will include: the essence of Judaism, the nature of law, religion and state, God and evil, the status of women and non- Jews, the legacy of the Holocaust. Readings from: Martin Buber, Abraham Joshua Heschel, Judith Plaskow, Emmanuel Levinas, and others.
