Abraham Joshua Heschel--Philosopher of Wonder by Maurice S Friedman
Most studies of Abraham Joshua Heschel approach him as a theologian, whereas this book peers behind the theologian and honors Heschel as the original philosopher that he was. So it unearths Heschel's epistemology, his aesthetic, and his social philosophy, all reinforced by the thirty years of friendship and dialogue that Maurice Friedman shared with him. This book raises significantly critical questions concerning Heschel's philosophy of Judaism while remaining greatly appreciative of the sweep and command of his philosophy that Friedman believes were not sufficiently worked through.
Maurice Friedman (1921-2012) was a 20th-century philosopher and the founder of the Institute for Dialogical Psychotherapy. Friedman held degrees from Harvard University, Ohio State, the University of Chicago, and the University of Vermont. He is the author of The Worlds of Existentialism: A Critical Reader, Problematic Rebel: An Image of Modern Man, and My Friendship with Martin Buber.
