Publisher Synopsis
The challenging ideas put forth in this rich volume necessarily lead to new considerations regarding one's own and others' traditions. Useful Chinese and Hebrew gloassaries as well as an extensive bibliography supplement the book. -- Irene Eber * The Journal Of Religion * There are many important sections that can captivate and inform the reader. * Dao: A Journal of Comparative Philosophy, Springer Science and Business Media * A unique book by a unique author....It is stimulating. * Journal of Chinese Religions * To Broaden the Way is at once an introduction to Confucianism, a personal statement by a Jewish scholar who, while not 'observant' in any formal sense, still feels reverence for the traditions of halakhic Judaism, and a fascinating comparison of the two. Readers whose ideas of morality have been wholly derived from the Western tradition that stretches from Plato to John Rawls will find their minds stretched by reading this short book. They may even be helped in defining their own 'way.' -- Hilary Putnam, professor emeritus, Harvard University Read more...
