The volume brings together four of Schweid's most original and influential philosophical essays and an interview with him that together express his fundamental outlook: the faith of a secular Jew; freely choosing loyalty to his or her national culture; and drawing on Jewish heritage to inform how to act responsibly toward one's neighbor, one's people, the world, and God."--Back cover.
