Mittleman Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The book 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. Publisher Description The title of political theorist Alan L. Mittlemans captivating new book is drawn from the patriarch Jacobs blessing to his children and grandchildren. The blessing contains the promise that Judah will become a royal house, perhaps forever. Kings, of course, ceased in Israel, but politics did not. Regime replaced regime. National independence was compromised and lost, regained and lost again. Yet the attention to things political was never lost. Old texts were applied to new political realities. Political awareness and thought, constantly transformed and adapted to new historical exigencies, persisted among the Jews. In The Scepter Shall Not Depart from Judah, 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. Mittlemans 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. Author Biography Alan L. Mittleman is Associate Professor of Religion at Muhlenberg College. He is the author of The Politics of Torah: German-Jewish Orthodoxy and the Founding of Agudat Israel (1996) and Between Kant and Kabbalah: An Introduction to Isaac Breuers Philosophy of Judaism (1990).
