This Handbook provides an examined and nuanced overview of the history and devlopment of Jewish philosophy, from antiquity up to current trends in the field. Editors Paul W. Franks and Yitzhak Y. Melamed have brought together an international team of philosophers and scholars to tackle a complex and multi-layered literary corpus that stretches over two millennia. This volume is comprised of six divisions, each telling the story of Jewish philosophy from a distinctive vantage point: an introductory section addressing the place and historiography of Jewish philosophy within broader academia; the history of Jewish philosophy with an eye towards major schools and periods; interactions between Jewish philosophy and other branches of the Jewish literarary tradition; interactions with non-Jewish philosophy; key topics in Jewish philosophy; and new directions in the field. The result is a uniquely comprehensive and multi-layered survey of this incredibly important intellectual tradition. Drawing from thinkers at the top of their field and edited by two of the most important philosophers working today, this Handbook is the authoritative guide to the history, development, and trajectory of Jewish philosophy.
Paul W. Franks is the Robert F. and Patricia Weis Professor of Philosophy and Judaic Studies and Professor of Religious Studies at Yale University. He is the author of All or Nothing: Systematicity, Transcendental Arguments, and Skepticism in German Idealism, and the editor of Franz Rosenzweig: Philosophical and Theological Writings.
Yitzhak Y. Melamed is the Charlotte Bloomberg Professor of Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University. He is the editor of Modality: A History, and Eternity: A History, and is the author of The Young Spinoza and Spinoza's Metaphysics, among other book projects.
