Publisher Comments:

Halakhic Man is the classic work of modern Jewish and religious thought by the twentieth centurys preeminent Orthodox Jewish theologian and talmudic scholar. 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.

: KIER8, December 7, 2008 (view all comments by KIER8)
To many Orthodox Jews, Rabbi Dr. Joseph B. Soloveitchik was by far the greatest talmudist and Jewish philospher of the 20th century. His influenthal 1944 essay on religious psychology and phenomenology ["ish ha-halakhah"] was superbly translated from the Hebrew as "Halakhic Man" in 1983 by McGill University's Lawrence Kaplan. Dr. Soloveitchik assumed the reader's familiarity with 19th and 20th century philosophy, Talmud, and Maimonides' Mishneh Torah in their original languages. Dr. Kaplan translated and expanded the notes. Today all these works are available in English translation.
