Description

Judaism And The Scientific Spirit is a book written by W. Gunther Plaut that explores the relationship between Judaism and science. The author argues that Judaism has always had a scientific spirit, even though it is often portrayed as being opposed to science. Plaut examines the history of Jewish thought and the contributions that Jews have made to science, including in fields such as medicine, astronomy, and mathematics. He also discusses the role that science plays in contemporary Jewish life, and how it can be used to enrich and deepen our understanding of Jewish tradition. Throughout the book, Plaut draws on both Jewish and scientific sources to provide a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the relationship between these two important areas of human knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
