This book shows how Judah Abrabanel’s writings are philosophical, and not merely religious. It examines the Renaissance belief that Love should know more than Wisdom, which is something Abrabanel taught. The ultimate mystical union with God for Abrabanel is beneficence towards one’s fellow human beings. His view is that love is the affirmation of both God and human individual experience. Knowledge of man and God are both dependent upon the experience of love.

Karl Jaspers and Hannah Arendt were a strange pair indeed! Jaspers, the cool psychiatrist/philosopher and Arendt, the hot-headed polemicist who preferred to call herself a political theorist despite her extensive philosophical training. Jaspers was practically monolingual though he could read English with a dictionary. Arendt was fluent in many languages. Both valued original thought and they were somewhat contemptuous towards the imitative. What seemed to unite them, aside from emotional factors, was their concern for humankind, their sheer intellectual prowess and curiosity, and their willingness to dialogue.
The correspondence between the two goes far beyond the question regarding Nazi war criminals. Though my thesis centers upon the concepts of banality of evil and metaphysical guilt, it also involves the Jewish question and Zionism, something that may invoke a great deal of controversy nowadays. This was necessitated by the Jewish reaction to Arendt’s Eichmann in Jerusalem and by her response to it. The book also deals with my own country, the U.S.A. and some unfortunate recent events.

The peace proposal that was put forward by President Trump has apparently been agreed to by Israel and Hamas (with some reservations). It looks like the remaining hostages will be released and the Israeli pounding of Gaza will end. Unfortunately, despite widespread Arab support for the proposal, many Palestinians do not support it, which might lead many to believe that Israel was correct in perpetuating the war as long s it did.

“While reminding religious and non-religious people alike of the great contribution of the Jews to modern Western culture, the present volume searches out a hermeneutical middle ground between the materialism of race-based identity theories and the ideological excesses of narrowly conceived religious systems.”
