  • Essay. The death and revival of Jewish philosophy

    Norbert M Samuelson, N SamuelsonARTICLEJournal of the American Academy…2002

    This essay reflects critically on the past twenty-five years of work in constructive Jewish philosophy in order to propose an agenda for future constructive Jewish philosophy in the next twenty-five years. The critical part of the essay focuses on the reasons why Jewish philosophers can no longer function as public intellectuals and why the field of philosophy itself can no longer serve as a focus for Jewish philosophy. The proposed agenda sugges…

  • Rethinking Ethics in the Light of Jewish Thought and the Life Sciences

    Open AccessNorbert M SamuelsonARTICLEJournal of Religious Ethics2001

    Judaism in the twentieth century began to return to its scriptural, communal roots after a centuries‐long detour through Greek‐influenced natural philosophy, a detour during which science and ethics were assumed to be partners and Jewish ethics drew heavily on natural philosophy and science. Twentieth‐century philosophical ethics and science, particularly biological science, have developed in such a way as to make any continuation of that histori…

  • Maimonides' Doctrine of Creation

    Open AccessNorbert M SamuelsonARTICLEHarvard Theological Review1991

    Maimonides' Guide of the Perplexed is among the most influential works ever written in religious philosophy. It occupies a unique place in Jewish religious thought. While the majority of subsequent Jewish thinkers have criticized what they understood of Maimonides' text, they have often felt obligated to struggle with his contentions. This obligation constitutes the highest expression of respect in Jewish philosophy

  • That the God of the Philosophers is Not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

    Open AccessNorbert M Samuelson, Norbert SamuelsonARTICLEHarvard Theological Review1972

    How can we decide if in fact Judah Halevi, Pascal, and Martin Buber were right when they asserted that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is not the God of the Philosophers? First we must clarify what they were asserting. What they meant was that the purported entity which the Biblical-Judaic-Christian-Moslem tradition identifies as “God” is not the same entity as the purported entity which the Jewish-Moslem-Christian traditions of philosophy i…
