from Philosophy Talk · host Philosophy Talk
Rabbis and Talmudic scholars have spent centuries puzzling over theology, texts, and life.

By what rules should people live? And what does Maimonides have to say about diets and bathing? John and Ken investigate the past, present, and future of Jewish philosophy with Paul Franks from the University of Toronto, author of All or Nothing: Skepticism, Transcendental Arguments and Systematicity in German Idealism.
