Description:

Halakhic Man is a unique, almost unclassifiable work; its pages include a brilliant exposition of Lithuanian religiosity, with its emphasis on Talmudism; a profound excursion into religious psychology and phenomenology; a pioneering attempt at a philosophy of Halakhah; a stringent critique of mysticism and romantic religion, all held together by the force of the author's highly personal vision. Exuding intellectual sophistication and touching upon issues fundamental to religious life, Rabbi Soloveitchik's exploration seeks to explain the inner world of the Talmudist, or as he is referred to typologically, halakhic man, in terms drawn from Western culture.
