Distinguished philosopher Hilary Putnam, who is also a practicing Jew, questions
the thought of three major Jewish philosophers of the 20th century Franz Rosenz
weig, Martin Buber, and Emmanuel Levinas to help him reconcile the philosophical
and religious sides of his life. An additional presence in the book is Ludwig W
ittgenstein, who, although not a practicing Jew, thought about religion in ways
that Putnam juxtaposes to the views of Rosenzweig, Buber, and Levinas.
