Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

2005 OUP hardcover edition. Unread copy in very good condition. From the cover: 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. Bringing a modern analytical framework to bear on the methods of the medieval philosopher Moses Maimonides and the contemporary thinker Joseph Soloveitchik, Rynhold argues that despite being put forward as opposing approaches their views on ta'amei ha-mitzvot share a central methodological presumption - the Priority of Theory. Rynhold's critique of this method, based primarily on developing an argument from uncodifiability, is followed by the development of his own original method of justifying practices that he terms the Priority of Practice. Rynhold's innovative approach, based on an analysis of the concept of faith as presented in certain central strands of the Jewish tradition, emphasizes the limits of propositional methods for justifying practices in general and the need for a more pragmatic line. Through utilizing Jewish philosophy in order to draw conclusions of general relevance to contemporary philosophical debates, Rynhold presents us not only with a rigorous philosophical critique of select approaches to ta'amei ha-mitzvot in Jewish philosophy but also with his own programme for the justification of practices generally. Whilst much work in Jewish philosophy is more historical than conceptual, Rynhold's attempt to bring together Jewish and general philosophy yields a work that illustrates how Jewish philosophy can be of more than historical interest and make a genuine contribution to current philosophical debate.…
