Abstract
AbstractThis essay is my contribution to the project of reviving Jewish theology as an enterprise in which language and thought make positive statements about God. This project is necessitated by what I see as the failures of the negative or “apophatic theologies” of postmodernism to generate and support a vibrant Jewish religious life. My strategy is to retrieve from medieval philosophy what I call a “soft metaphysics” as a framework and series of axioms for thought and practice rather than the demonstration of universal propositions of truth. I then turn to the Hebrew Bible for a textual hermeneutics and a “practical metaphysics” in which theology is tasked with attending to the needs of the human spiritual life.
