Two Models of Jewish Philosophy: Justifying One's Practices
Daniel Rynhold
Abstract
Judaism is a religion that historically has emphasized the importance of a set of practical commandments, and in the history of Jewish philosophy various attempts have been made to rationalize or justify these commandments. In this book, Daniel Rynhold attempts to formulate a general model for the justification of practices out of a critical analysis of approaches taken to the issue of ta’amei ha-mitzvot (the rationalization of the commandments) within Jewish philosophy.
Keywords: Jewish Philosophy, justification, Maimonides, PoP, PoT, practice, principles, rationalization, Soloveitchik, theory
