Certainly, these texts have been put to various uses in the history of ideas. But are there ideas that actually originate with the Hebrew Bible and other classical Jewish texts, so that we can speak of the \u201cideas of the Bible\u201d in the same way we can speak of \u201cPlato\u2019s ideas\u201d or \u201cNietzsche\u2019s thought\u201d? And if there are biblical ideas, are any of them of genuine philosophical significance, addressing themselves to important questions in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, or political philosophy?<\/p>\n<p>In the last generation, there has been a gradual but steady movement in a number of academic disciplines in the direction of thinking that the classical Jewish sources can in fact be read for their philosophical teachings. The \u201cJewish Philosophical Theology\u201d project aims to bolster this trend by placing resources of different kinds at the disposal of scholars and students from different backgrounds interested in working on the philosophical investigation of the classical Jewish sources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJewish Philosophical Theology\u201d is a project of the Institute for Advanced Study at the Herzl Institute and is directed by the Institute\u2019s president, Shalem Center co-founder Yoram Hazony.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cJewish Philosophical Theology\u201d project is part of a larger program in \u201cAnalytic Theology\u201d initiated by the John Templeton Foundation in 2010. In the context of this project,\u00a0our work is aimed at developing a Jewish contribution to the emerging field of philosophical theology, while our partners in this endeavor, the University of Notre Dame in Indiana and the University of Innsbruck in Austria, represent Christian components of the project.
