Jewish Intellectual Tradition
A History of Learning and Achievement
«“From tenured professorships to nobel prizes, Jews have excelled in all manor of scholarship. Many authors have explored where this dedication to learning comes from—The Jewish Intellectual Tradition: A History of Learning and Achievement by Alan Kadish, Michael Shmidman, and Simcha Fishbane is another important voice in the conversation. The three authors present the information thoughtfully, building a robust bookshelf before their readers' eyes. The book serves as a helpful teaching tool because of its shortened explanations of mystical texts, and early modern trends—like the birth of Reform Judaism—that educators may find useful. As a whole, it's a helpful introduction, not only to Jewish thought, but to Jewish history and literature." —Rabbi Marc Katz, Jewish Book Council»

The Jewish intellectual tradition has a long and complex history that has resulted in significant and influential works of scholarship. In this book, the authors suggest that there is a series of common principles that can be extracted from the Jewish intellectual tradition that have broad, even life-changing, implications for individual and societal achievement. These principles include respect for tradition while encouraging independent, often disruptive thinking; a precise system of logical reasoning in pursuit of the truth; universal education continuing through adulthood; and living a purposeful life. The main objective of this book is to understand the historical development of these principles and to demonstrate how applying them judiciously can lead to greater intellectual productivity, a more fulfilling existence, and a more advanced society.
