Wisdom's little sister studies in medieval & Renaissance Jewish political thought

"This is a collection of papers published in English in various periodicals, proceedings and Festchrifts during the last thirty years-- from the early 1980s through 2010 [with original bibliographic information listed]. ... The papers were slightly edited for the purpose of clarity, consistency and gender neutral terms where possible. Hebrew and Arabic terms are transliterated without diacritical marks. The bibliography was brought up-to-date, although I retained much of the older bibliography. ... I did not attempt to rewrite the papers. ... In this respect, this collection is a kind of history of the development of my research on these issues from the early years after I finished my doctoral dissertation, on which some of the early papers are based, until the present, when I am already on the verge of retirement. ... The papers have been arranged thematically, and not in the order of their appearance."--P. 12.

  • ""As a recently established field of Jewish thought, Jewish political philosophy has made increasingly frequent appearances in recently edited histories of Jewish philosophy. Following the pioneering efforts of Leo Strauss, Ralph Lerner and Daniel Elazar, among others, Jewish political philosophy gained its proper place alongside ethics and metaphysics in the study of the history of Jewish philosophy. This volume is another manifestation of this welcomed development. Consisting of selected papers published in English over the last thirty years, Wisdom's Little Sister concentrates on the Medieval and Renaissance periods, from Sa'adiah Gaon in the tenth century to Spinoza in the seventeenth century. These were the formative periods in the development of Jewish political philosophy, when Jewish scholars, versed in the canonical Jewish sources (biblical and rabbinic), encountered Greek political philosophy as transmitted by Muslim philosophers such as Alfarabi, Ibn Bajja and Averroes. In combining Greek, Jewish and Muslim thought, these scholars are the originators of what we now know as Jewish political philosophy."--Publisher's website."@en
