This book presents Joseph Soloveitchik's philosophy as a conceptual response to Nietzsche's critique of religion that brings Nietzsche's life-affirming sensibility to halakhic Judaism. Placing Soloveitchik's thought in this novel context highlights his unique contribution to Jewish philosophy for scholars and students of Jewish studies, philosophy, religion, and related disciplines.
