Description: Presenting nine original essays by scholars from the US, UK, and Israel, this volume turns the communal authority vs. post-Lockean liberalism debate assuming a mismatch between Judaism and the liberal state on its head. The first section treats issues of Judaism's modern incorporation of democracy, human rights, personal autonomy, and pluralism. To demonstrate that Jewish tradition has long conceptualized authority as being grounded in consent, part two harks back to Maimonides' medieval reading of Biblical text on liberty, authority, and consent, and to rabbinical Responsa on political liberty.
