Description

In The Scepter Shall Not Depart from Judah, Alan Mittleman looks at some of the central problems of political philosophy - such as fundamental rights and the common good - from the point of view of rabbinic Judaism. At the same time, he considers conceptual issues in Judaism - such as covenant and tradition - from the perspective of political philosophy. Mittleman's sources range from the ancient rabbis to contemporary political theorists, making this volume an important one for courses and research in both Jewish studies and political theory.
