J. Jacobs An examination of medieval and early modern Jewish moral philosophy with an emphasis on the relation between Jewish religious commitments and the Greek and Hellenistic heritage, and on attempts to reconcile Jewish religion with early modern ethical and political thought. Main topics include the issue of Judaism and natural law, freedom of the will, the nature of the virtues, and the rationality of religious commandments. 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.

S. Kepnes, M. Thie The course explores the complex relations among God/spirituality, world/politics, and self/embodiment. Central to understanding their meaning and connections are underlying philosophies/world views, the nature and practice of faiths and theologies.
