AARON W. HUGHES. Rethinking Jewish Philosophy. New York, Oxford University Press , 2014.

My goal in this study is to arrive at a thinking that does not reify either Judaism or philosophy as stable or authentic. Judaism-like philosophy-cannot become the privileged cultural resource or position, because once this happens, the result is violence, whether physical or metaphysical. To stabilize the ontologies of Judaism or philosophy-the particular and the universal is to overlook how they define each other and, ultimately, how each undermines the perceived determinacy of the other. My hope, in other words, is to rethink Jewish philosophy using a language that avoids stability, hegemony, and occupation.
