Eliezer Schweid: The Responsibility of Jewish Philosophy


Overview

This volume features Eliezer Schweid’s philosophy of Judaism for a secular age. The volume brings together four of Schweid’s most original and influential philosophical essays and an interview with him which express his fundamental outlook: the faith of a secular Jew, having freely choosen loyalty to his or her national culture and to Jewish heritage informs him or her how to act responsibly toward one’s neighbor, one’s people, the world, and God. The themes span the gamut of Schweid’s life work: the existential loneliness of the modern Jew; Judaism as a culture; faith in light of the Holocaust; and appreciation for secular humanism with awareness of its shortcomings, given the enduring legacy of the Jewish biblical heritage.
