On Justice
An Essay in Jewish Philosophy
Author Information - Contents - Publication Details - Reviews
Lenn E. Goodman here pioneers a general theory of justice that takes seriously the Jewish sources—biblical, rabbinic, and philosophic. Bringing Plato, Aristotle, Kant, and Rawls into dialogue with Saadiah, Halevi, Maimonides, and Spinoza, Goodman’s ontological account offers fresh and original perspectives in moral and social philosophy.
Lenn E. Goodman is Professor of Philosophy and Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. A graduate of Harvard and a former Marshall Scholar, Goodman earned his doctorate at Oxford and is a past winner of the Baumgardt Prize of the American Philosophical Association and the Gratz Centennial Prize, for his book God of Abraham. He has lectured throughout the United States and in Europe, Australia, and Israel. Among his other books are Judaism, Human Rights and Human Values, Avicenna, Islamic Humanism, and Jewish and Islamic Philosophy: Crosspollinations in the Classic Age.
