Synopsis

Goodman shows how human values illuminate the idea of God, which in turn sheds light on our value concerns. Drawing on a wealth of traditional and philosophical material including Jewish sources, he shows how an adequate understanding of the interplay of values with monotheism can dissolve many of the longstanding problems of natural theology and ethics and guide us to a genuinely humanistic moral and social philosophy.
