Halakhic Man is the classic work of modern Jewish and religious thought by the twentieth century’s preeminent Orthodox Jewish theologian and talmudic scholar, Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik. It is a profound excursion into religious psychology and phenomenology, a pioneering attempt at a philosophy of halakhah, and a stringent critique of mysticism and romantic religion. This 40th anniversary edition features this new scholarly apparatus: - A translator’s preface tracing the book’s reception and evolving influence - A translator’s introduction shedding light on the heart of Soloveitchik’s argument - A list of errata to the original text - Translator’s annotations explaining Soloveitchik’s references and underlying teachings - A glossary of key terms - A bibliography of works cited in this edition - Two indexes: an index of biblical and rabbinic sources and an index of names and subjects incorporating the edition’s full content.
