Judaic Man: Toward Reconstruction of Western Civilization [Hardcover]

Paul Eidelberg (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 1573925276 | ISBN-13: 978-1573925273 | Publication Date: 1996

With crime, drug addiction, nihilism, and pornography chipping away at the moral fibre of Western society, many people have turned to classical Greek philosophy and Christianity to restore both private and public morality. In "Judaic Man", Professor Eidelberg argues that the Greco-Christian tradition contains certain dichotomies that have resulted in the contemporary malaise, dichotomies that are foreign to Judaism. The author employs a Torah understanding of human nature and history to provide a model of man and community that transcends the magnanimous man of classical political philosophy.
