Edited by prominent political theorist Michael Walzer, this collection of essays by contemporary political theorists, philosophers, and lawyers explores the intersection of Jewish legal and political thought with modern life. The book examines how Jewish tradition, historically developed in conditions of exile, can engage with the realities of citizens in modern democratic states, addressing critical themes such as citizenship, religious toleration, pluralism, and the use of force by modern states.
Through a multidisciplinary perspective, the authors analyze how classical Jewish texts and halakha (Jewish law) integrate with the commitments of citizens in secular societies. It is an essential read for those seeking to understand the relevance of Jewish thought within the context of comparative ethics and contemporary political philosophy.
