520 _aThe book offers a comprehensive philosophical reconstruction of the work of Edmond Jab�es─a Jewish-French poet, modern Kabbalist and thinker. It is a starting point for an enquiry into the nature of the encounter between Judaism and modern philosophy. Philosophically, Judaism becomes a re-constructed tradition: a field played with by modern forces.
