Dov Schwartz’s The Philosophy of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik: A Conciliatory Perspective. Reflections on His Late Thought explores the later thought of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik (1903–1993), focusing on his writings from the 1960s onward. It shows how Rav Soloveitchik modulated his earlier themes of existential loneliness, shifting toward communal engagement and integrating diverse philosophical influences. Based largely on posthumously published works, it reveals his evolving views on theology, Halakhah, and modernity. Schwartz methodically traces the Rav’s intellectual search —from Kant and Kierkegaard to Jewish mysticism—emphasizing his integrative approach in later years. This volume offers a systematic study of Soloveitchik’s mature philosophy, highlighting its relevance to the contemporary Jewish philosophical discourse.

Dov Schwartz, is Chair of the Department of Jewish Philosophy at Bar Ilan University in Israel and a Senior Researcher at the Shalom Hartman Institute, Jerusalem.
