      ab: The article focuses on the philosophical exploration of Judaism presented in *How to Measure a World? A Philosophy of Judaism* by Martin Shuster, emphasizing the concept of anachronism within Jewish thought. Shuster proposes a tradition of anachronism that challenges established Jewish philosophical canons and suggests new possibilities for Jewish thinking and living, while engaging with themes such as embodiment, gender, and ethics. The work dialogues with figures like Maimonides, Levinas, and Adorno, and addresses the complexities of applying negative theology and phenomenology to contemporary religious and institutional contexts. The author and respondents highlight the ongoing, unfinished task of "measuring the world," advocating for a critical, open-ended engagement with Jewish philosophy that resists closure and embraces plurality amid modern social and political challenges.
