Jewish Mysticism and Jewish Ethics by Joseph Dan

Jewish Mysticism and Jewish Ethics by Joseph Dan

Jewish Mysticism and Jewish Ethics is a ground-breaking study of an ideological miracle, a tale of seven hundred years of diverse Jewish theological creativity. Many extreme, radical, and even seemingly heretical schools of thought were intergrated into a constructive, traditional Jewish ethics within the framework of Hebrew ethical literature. The ability of Jewish ethics to absorb and sustain conflicting ideas, which originated in schools that fought each other fiercely, presents a fascinating chapter in the history of Jewish ideas.

Joseph Dan serves as the Gershom Scholem Professor of Kabbalah in the Department of Jewish Thought of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he has taught since 1958 and been a full professor since 1978. He has also served as a visiting professor in universities the world over, among them, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, University College, London, the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, Paris, and Jewish Theological Seminary.
