  • Abrahamic Religions: On the Uses and Abuses of History. By Aaron W. Hughes

    Kalman P BlandARTICLEJournal of the American Academy…2014

    Reading this monograph brings many rewards. Among them is the chance to engage a thoughtful handling of two scholarly aggregations, or constellations, that currently prevail in the academic study of religion. Historically minded humanists and social scientists populate one constellation. They gravitate toward diachronic specificity. The other constellation includes phenomenologists and metaphysically inclined theologians. They incline toward time…

  • Liberating Imagination and Other Ends of Medieval Jewish Philosophy

    Kalman P BlandARTICLEJournal of Jewish Thought and…2012

    In its treatment of imagination as understood by medieval Jewish philosophers, modern scholarship has tended to neglect the intersection of animal fables and political thought. This paper examines several Aesopian themes in Greek philosophy and medieval Jewish philosophic literature, especially the tales composed by Berakhiah ha-Naqdan, in order to highlight the attention lavished by these premoderns on the faculty of imagination. It is argued th…

  • The Artless Jew: Medieval and Modern Affirmations and Denials of the Visual

    Kalman P BlandBOOKArtless Jew2001

    Conventional wisdom holds that Judaism is indifferent or even suspiciously hostile to the visual arts due to the Second Commandment's prohibition on creating "graven images," the dictates of monotheism, and historical happenstance. This intellectual history of medieval and modern Jewish attitudes toward art and representation overturns the modern assumption of Jewish iconophobia that denies to Jewish culture a visual dimension.

    Kalman P BlandARTICLEJournal of the History of Ideas1993

    Reconnaissance of sixteenth-century French literature convinced Lucien Febvre that like their acute hearing and sharp sense of smell, the men of that time doubtless had keen sight. But that was just it. They had not yet set it apart from the other senses. As he wittily concluded, ... there was no Hotel Fairview in the sixteenth century, nor any Prospect Hotel.... The Renaissance continued to up [a' descendre] at the Rose, the Wild Man, or the Gol…
