Title: Jewish Thought and Modern Society
Description: What is Judaism's, and the individual Jew's, relation to the modern world? Is Judaism a religion, a nationality, an ethnicity, or a combination of these? This course explores different answers to these questions by examining various historical and cultural formations of Jewish identity in Europe, America, and Israel from the seventeenth century to the present, as well as by engaging particular issues, such as Judaism's relation to technology, the environment, bioethics, feminism, and democracy.
