Jewish Philosophy An Historical Introduction

Jewish Philosophy: An Historical Introductionsurveys the history of Jewish philosophy, from the formation of the Hebrew Scriptures to the present time.

The book is intended as a text for courses in Jewish philosophy, as well as for more general courses in religious thought, Judaism, and philosophy, but presupposes no prior background in these subjects. Each chapter concludes with sets of key terms and questions, as well as recommendations for further reading.
