Halakha and Morality

Introduction

The idea behind this issue, which is to be a model for a series that JTR hopes to run on a regular basis, is to bring the texts and modes of reasoning characteristic of traditional rabbinic thought together with the tools of modern literary, philosophical, historical, and legal theory. Symposia will both work out from traditional ways of reading these texts towards the concerns of the modern academy, and to the traditional texts from the methods and concerns of the modern academy: will combine internal and external perspectives on them.
