- Summary
- "Modern Jewish Thinkers: An Introduction offers a non-technical, user-friendly guide to the most important modern Jewish thinkers and movements. Biographical and historical introductions precede a discussion of each thinker's major works, principle ideas, and enduring legacy. In this way, each figure's personal journey of discovery becomes a platform for understanding his/her mature thought. Within the covers of a single book the reader receives in entire course on a highly accessible, yet serious plane. But Modern Jewish Thinkers is more than a survey. Each chapter includes a short, judiciously chosen selection from the given author, along with questions to guide the reader through the material. Short biographical essays at the end of each chapter offer the reader recommendations for further readings and provide the "low-down" on which books are worth the reader's further consultation - and which are not."--BOOK JACKET.
