Bøker av Alan T. Levenson

An intellectual biography that reassesses one of the premier Jewish humanists of the mid-twentieth century. Alan Levenson recaptures the life, works, and milieu of the Romanian-born, English-educated, American belletrist Maurice Samuel.

Highlighting well-known Jewish thinkers from a very wide spectrum of opinion the author addresses a range of issues including: What makes a thinker Jewish? What makes modern Jewish thought modern? How have secular Jews integrated Jewish traditional thought with agnosticism? What do Orthodox thinkers have to teach non-Orthodox Jews and vice versa?
