A Philosophy of Judaism* by Martin Shuster, focusing on its exploration of Judaism, philosophy, theology, and ethics through a "high altitude" perspective that seeks to unify diverse thinkers such as Maimonides, Adorno, and Levinas. Shuster employs the concept of "anachronism"—defined as a "distance from the present world"—to articulate a modality of Jewish thought that challenges dominant Western secular rationality by emphasizing ethical and phenomenological negativity. The book interrogates disciplinary boundaries between philosophy, theology, and religion, suggesting that these distinctions may be sociological rather than substantive, while also addressing the post-Holocaust philosophical move to universalize certain Jewish ethical insights. The article raises questions about the historical specificity of "anachronism," the sociopolitical context of Jewish thought, and the implications of integrating theological motifs into philosophical discourse. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Religious Studies Review (John Wiley & Sons, Inc.) is the property of John Wiley & Sons, Inc. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
