"Samuelson's book takes the student on a fascinating tour through the world of Judaism in general and Jewish Philosophy in particular....he succeeds in leading the reader through the ever-changing landscape of Jewish responses to western culture, to its own heritage, and to the philosophies and theologies of the surrounding religions." Dr. Yehoyada Amir, Department of Jewish Thought, Hebrew University, Jerusalem; "One of America's leading Jewish philosophers has written an admirable guide to the history of Jewish philosophical reflection from its Hebraic roots to Franz Rosenzweig. Highly recommended." Professor John Clayton, Chairman, Department of Religion, Boston University"
Presupposing no prior background in Judaism or philosophy, this text surveys the history of Jewish Philosophy, from the formation of the Hebrew Scriptures to the modern age. It is intended to be used with courses in Jewish philosophy, as well as with more general courses in religious thought, Judaism and philosophy.;The author discusses the nature of God, the origin and end of the universe, and the more moral value of humanity, all from the distinctive perspective of Jewish intellectual history. The Hebrew Scriptures, the Midrash, and medieval works of Jewish theology are all alluded to. Among the Jewish philosophers discussed are Judah Ha-Nasi, Saadia Gaon, Ha-Levi, Abraham ibn Daud, Moses Maimonides, Levi Gersonides, Hasdai Crescas, Baruch Spinoza, Hermann Cohen, Martin Buber and Franz Rosenzweig.
