This classic work by early-20th-century Jewish humanist and scholar Isaac Heinemann surveys the crucial phases of Jewish thought concerning correct conduct as codified in the commandments. Heinemann offers systematic insights into the intellectual, emotional, pedagogical, and pragmatic reasoning advanced by the major Jewish thinkers. This book, available in English for the first time, covers Jewish thinkers from the Bible, rabbis, and Hellenistic philosophers through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, including Saadiah, Halevi, Maimonides, Albo, and many others.
