JPHL 301 - Woodmont College

Course Description

This course will examine how Jewish Philosophy views life’s purpose and why individuality is an integral part. We will explain how happiness is the foundational theme of Jewish philosophy and demonstrate how this theme impacts everyday life. In addition, we will clarify why education has been the primary focus of the Jewish people since their inception. The course will analyze the major philosophical works produced between the 16th and 18th Centuries. These texts are translated into English thereby enabling students to draw their own conclusion.
