Reclaiming the Wicked Son: Finding Judaism in Secular Jewish Philosophers

Stephen Stern; Steven  Gimbel

Reclaiming the Wicked Son: Finding Judaism in Secular Jewish Philosophers takes the ideas of six well-known secular Jewish philosophers from Karl Marx and Ludwig Wittgenstein to Noam Chomsky and Judith Butler and views them through a wide range of Jewish lenses from the Talmudic tradition and prophetic Judaism to Kabbalist approaches, thereby understanding the twentieth century secular thinkers as on-going elements of a living Jewish intellectual tradition.
