JST 252 - Modern Jewish Thought

Description
In this course we study Jewish thinkers from the Enlightenment to the present, through their philosophical writings, political essays, religious reflections, and fiction. The chief question facing all of them was how to make the Jewish tradition adapt or respond to the modern Western State and to modern Western culture. They come up with a variety of answers. This is a course about Jews and the West. To what degree is there harmony? To what degree is their conflict?
