Law, Politics, and Morality in Judaism

Edited and with a preface by Michael Walzer.

Jewish legal and political thought developed in conditions of exile, where Jews had neither a state of their own nor citizenship in any other. What use, then, can this body of thought be today to Jews living in Israel or as emancipated citizens in secular democratic states? Can a culture of exile be adapted to help Jews find ways of being at home politically today? These questions are central in this volume, a collection of essays by political theorists, philosophers, and lawyers. With contributions by Robert M. Cover, Suzanne Last Stone, Noam J. Zohar et al.
