The focus is on questions concerning revelation and reason, and conceptions of human nature primarily as they bear on ethics and the understanding of moral law. Readings are from key medieval figures such as Philo, Maimonides, and Gersonides, and some crucial early modern thinkers, such as Spinoza and Mendelssohn. Prerequisites: three courses in philosophy, or two courses in philosophy and two courses in Jewish studies. This course is crosslisted as JWST 415.
