Synopsis
Explore a classic in Jewish ethical thought that links reason, duty, and heart for daily living.
The Duties of the Heart presents a foundational work of ethics that blends philosophy, religious insight, and practical guidance. This edition offers a carefully selected translation with an introductory framework that illuminates Bachye’s aim: to ground right conduct in both moral reasoning and heartfelt obligation. You’ll encounter ideas about humility, the dangers of pride, and how true repentance works, all set within the dialogue between Scripture and human reason.
- Learn how ethics covers all human actions, from daily choices to life’s larger commitments.
- See how humility before the Creator shapes behavior toward others and toward self.
- Discover how motives, repentance, and accountability fit into a lived moral life.
- Understand how reason and sacred text can cooperate to form character and guide conduct.
Ideal for readers of classical philosophy, Jewish ethics, and moral philosophy alike, this edition helps you grasp the enduring questions at the heart of ethical living.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Guide to theD uties of the Heart is the unique work that first linked the ethical science of theW est with the emotional and spiritual morality of theE ast. It combines, in an artistic unity, elements drawn from the philosophy and contemplative mysticism of the A rabs, from Biblical andR abbinic Judaism, and from Greek thought. By exhibiting the spiritual foundations of universal Ethics, and of the moral law of theB ible, in the light of pure reason, Bachye prepared the way for finding that common ground on which, wholly or in part, all the moral religions, and all the nonreligious systems of morality, are rooted. Therefore, although actually written inS pain, a land of theW est, it forms a fitting opening volume for theW isdom of theE ast Series.
