ABSTRACT
In this general part on Practical Philosophy the focus is on legal, moral, and social and political philosophy. The reasons or explanations for the divine Law and for obedience to it, a problem in moral responsibility and agency that arises in Exodus when God ‘hardens’ Pharaoh’s heart, the nature of repentance and forgiveness in Judaism, and finally the grounds for religious pluralism and toleration-all of these are issues discussed with subtlety by Jewish philosophers.
