| 520 | 8 | |a Norms & obligations are central components of many religious traditions. Yet they have often been neglected as objects of reflection in the study of religion relative to belief, experience, & even the related category of ritual. More surprisingly, despite the centrality of mitzvah in Judaism, halakhah has only recently become a central topic in modern Jewish thought. This book rectifies these deficiencies while forging new connections between reflection on religion & modern Jewish thought by offering what it calls a critique of halakhic reason. Such a critique delineates the rational constraints on the justification of the commandments & the practical consequences for their jurisprudence. It also asks whether uniquely "religious reasons" even exist & draws conclusions for several areas of study. | |
