Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on a postmodern perspective, this book explores contemporary Jewish thought by analyzing its relationship with modernity, Jewish law, mysticism, history, and theology. It emphasizes three key elements of postmodernism: the significance of the Other, the text as a means to create alternate realities, and the challenge of absolute knowledge. By promoting creative Jewish expression while avoiding dogmatism, it discusses the ideas of influential thinkers like Leo Baeck, Martin Buber, and recent voices such as Eugene B. Borowitz and Edith Wischograd.
