Judaism
Judaism, as a religion and a way of life, has guided millions of lives and profoundly influenced its younger sisters, Christianity and Islam, as well as contributing major themes and norms to the liberal and humanistic traditions of the West. Not all Jews are religious, and not all of Judaism is philosophical; but at its core Judaism rests on a complex of values and ideas that address the abiding concerns of philosophy and perennial questions abo…

Religious Pluralism and Values in the Public Sphere
How can we, as people and communities with different religions and cultures, live together with integrity? Does tolerance require us to deny our deep differences or give up all claims to truth, to trade our received traditions for skepticism or relativism? Cultural philosopher Lenn E. Goodman argues that we can respect one another and learn from one another's ways without either sharing them or relinquishing our own. He argues that our commitment…
A Call to Higher Things
Seeking a responsible middle ground between complaisance and the “religious totalitarianism” of Sayyid Qutb, Miroslav Volf proposes a proper role for religion as a faithful advisor in the public square and an inspired one in the corridors of conscience. But he seems to lose patience with that theme without addressing John Rawls’ case for silencing religious counsels—or engaging the strident atheism of Dennett, Dawkins, Hitchens, or Grayling, and …

The Philosopher-King in Medieval and Renaissance Jewish Political Thought
Religious Pluralism
This essay aims to lay out standards, personal and communal, for openness about religious diversity, without declining into a patronizing or trivializing relativism and without succumbing to the kindred weakness of skepticism. It is not inconsistent, I argue, to hold fast to one's religious convictions and practices while respecting and learning from other religious (and non-religious) traditions. Critical appropriation is the key here. For state…
Tragedy and Triumphalism
The 9/11 attacks were more than a criminal act. They were a terrorist war crime directed chiefly against unarmed civilians and a civil society which the planners and facilitators hoped ultimately to subdue in the name of Islam. It's easy to say, apologetically, that these war criminals "hijacked Islam." But there were many who applauded their heinous act, even as they sought to deny the loyalties and the inspiration of the perpetrators. The probl…

Jewish and Islamic Philosophy
This book explores the major philosophical issues in the historic interplay of Islamic and Jewish philosophy. The problems considered are issues of abiding philosophical interest: Freedom and determinism The nature and meaning of history The basis of ethical values The foundations and social implications of friendship The viability and relevance of the idea of God The approach taken here is distinctive in several ways. The perspective is cross-cu…
Judaism, Human Rights, and Human Values
In this important addition to the field of Jewish ethics, Goodman argues forcefully that the Jewish tradition has a significant contribution to make to the general discourse on ethical issues. After refuting the notion that “human rights” is a purely modern notion, Goodman traces the idea of such rights to its key biblical sources. He goes on to consider the works of medieval thinkers like Saadiah Goan and Moses Maimonides and then applies these …

Crosspollinations—Philosophically Fruitful Exchanges Between Jewish and Islamic Thought
Gh azâlî's Argument from Creation (II)
If, as Gh azâlî presumes, the fact of creation can serve as evidence of the existence of God, and if, as he attempts to show, creation is the only binding, reasoned proof of God's existence, Gh azâlî must, to fulfill his program of reconstructing the intellectual basis of Islam, somehow find arguments adequate to prove that creation did in fact take place. He must disprove what was in his time the still vital claim that the Universe had not come …

Saadiah's Ethical Pluralism
The main thrust of Saadiah's discussion of values and value theory is a critique of all particular values-asceticism, appetite, sex, passion, avarice, procreation, development, longevity, power, vengeance, knowledge, piety, and leisure-as severally inadequate to the foundation of life, since each, taken in isolation, falls short when judged by the standard of the others. The good life, he concludes, must comprise a proper combination of all of th…

The Overselling of Genetic Anxiety
Mass screening programs to detect carriers of Tay Sachs disease in\nthe American Jewish population are described and criticized from an ethical\nstandpoint. Educational programs promoting screening often trigger\nlong-lasting anxiety among members of the target population. Other ethical\nproblem areas include the co-opting of community resources and the dangers of\nstigmatization of carriers. In addition, cost-benefit analyses have been\nnarrowly…
Ethical Judgments and Medical Evidence
Prevention
Some health leaders and researchers have launched mass prevention programs without sound biomedical groundwork. They have oversold the benefits of prevention and underestimated the secondary effects. Some have forced nonmedical concerns into the medical model. Others have blurred the distinctions between prevention and other measures such as screening or therapy. Some have transferred responsibility for disease to the victim. A few have imputed m…

Time in Islam
Islam displaces the ancient idea of time as an implacable enemy with the scriptural image of time as the stage of judgment, a narrow bridge of accountability stretched between creation and eternity. The stark contrast of temporal evanescence with all the immutability of eternity challenges Muslim theologians and philosophers of the classic age. The dialectical theologians of the kalam describe time and change atomisti‐cally and even occasionalist…
