Dubuque, Iowa: Wm. C. Brown Reprint Library, ND. Reprint. Hardcover. vg. Octavo. [10], 125, [3]pp. Original blue cloth with gold lettering on spine. A study on how medieval Jewish philosophers such as Maimonides and Gersonides understood the concept of space. This issue was important to medieval philosophy in general because it conceived of God and angels as spiritual beings, unconnected to matter. This led to a problem as how such non-physical beings could interact with the world as they did not even take up any space in it. This issue has come down to modern culture in the form of the question: "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" Binding in overall good+, interior in very good condition., Wm. C. Brown Reprint Library, 3, Paperback / softback. New. Jewish Studies, the first volume in a ground breaking new series, Key Words in Jewish Studies, introduces the basic approach of the series by organizing discussion around key concepts in the field that have emerged over the last two centuries: history and science, race and religion, self and community, identity and memory. The book is oriented by contemporary critical theory, especially feminist and postcolonial studies, and the multidisciplinary approaches of cultural studies. By looking backward and forward--and across continents and disciplines--to unearth the evolution of the scholarly study of Jews, Andrew Bush provides a comprehensive introduction to the development of Jewish studies from the turn of the nineteenth century to the present. In the course of engaging scholarship on periods from the classical to the contemporary and from the disciplines of history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and literary studies, Bush questions male-dominated and Ashkenazi-centric visions of the field. He concludes with an experimental exposition of a new Jewish studies for a time where attention to difference has overtaken the security of canons and commonalities., 6<
