"Philosophical Investigation of the Hebrew Bible, Talmud and Midrash

The 2013 conference, "Philosophical Investigation of the Hebrew Scriptures, Talmud and Midrash," which will take place on July 21-25, 2013, will explore Human Action: Justice, Righteousness, Love and Awe. The conference will seek to bring to light the nature and significance of normativity and action in Jewish theology by clarifying the meaning of Jewish theological categories having to do with human evaluation and action, and by fitting them into an overall Jewish account of human life and flourishing. Invited speakers will be Lenn Goodman, Alan Mittleman, Kenneth Seeskin, David Shatz, and Roslyn Weiss.
