Books in the Modern Jewish Masters series

The author focuses on dimensions of Buber's thought long neglected in existing studies, including his concept of alienation and the crisis of modernity, his role as a social critic and thoughts on utopian socialism and the need for education, and his interpretation of Judaism.

The author examines Nachman Krochmal's work, particularly as it aimed to guide Jews through the modern revolution in metaphysical and historical thinking, thus enabling them to commit themselves to Judaism without sacrificing intellectual integrity.
