This book is an analysis of the thought of Joseph B. Soloveitchik (1903-1993). The analysis focuses on Soloveitchik’s notion of transcendence as articulated in his doctoral thesis on Hermann Cohen and in three of his essays on halakhic thought, viz., ‘The Halakhic Mind’, and the Hebrew essays ‘Ish ha-halakha’ and ‘U-viqqashtem mi-sham’.
