This particularly timely volume advances the debate between communitarians and liberals by particularising it to the experience of Jews living in the modern world.

The communitarian critic of liberalism argues that the socio-political context is fundamental to any understanding of the individual as such. This debate is advanced by particularising it to the experience of Jews in the modern world. Essays focus on the variety of views of the relationships between the individual Jew and the communities, religious and secular, of which he or she is a member.

Frank, Daniel
