Description
Jewish legal and political thought developed in conditions of exile, where Jews had neither a state of their own nor citizenship in any other. What use, then, can this body of thought be to Jews living in Israel or as emancipated citizens in secular states? This collection of essays by political theorists and lawyers deals with such questions.
