Traditions refer to sacred texts that are author itative for us in some significant way. They are „troubling“ when they conflict with other strong beliefs we hold\, be they epistemic beliefs ab out what is true or false\, moral beliefs about right or wrong\, or politi cal beliefs about how we ought or ought not to live. We will look at metho ds that Jewish philosophers have articulated in attempting to resolve thes e contradictions\, and gain insight into the history and practice of Jewis h philosophy. \;\n\nShira Billet is Assistant Professor of Jewish Thou ght and Ethics at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. Her research focuses on the work of nineteenth-century German Jewish philosopher\, Her mann Cohen\, his ethical and Jewish thought\, and the history of Jewish ph ilosophy broadly. \;\n\nPlease click here to register online. \;Zo om information will be shared a few days before program.\n\n \;\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.columbiajewish.org/wp-content/upload s/2023/08/WJT-photo-1.png CATEGORIES:Featured Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
