The Interaction of Jewish Law With Psychology and BiologyBy David Schatz and Joel B. Wolowelsky
Publisher: Ktav, 2004
The essays in this volume focus primarily on the interaction of Torah with the disciplines of psychology and biology. The first section deals with the more general issue of science and religion. Three prominent scholars with recognized expertise in the secular disciplines discuss the general issue, followed by a prominent scientist with extensive training in Torah discussing the more specific question of evolution. The second secti on , Judaism and Mental Heath Foru m : A Fictional Case with Commentaries, explores the issue of psychology and religion through a series of responses to a fictional case in which a psychiatrist unfamiliar with Orthodox Judaism attempts to treat an obsessed religious personality. The final secti ons deal with the interf ace bet ween biology and religion . The sym po s ium on Ju d a i s m , G en etic Engi n eering and the Cl oning of Hu m a n s ex p l ores su ch issues as, What are the moral and rel i gious limits of the new tech n o l ogi e s , t h eir appropri a te and inappro pri a te uses? Are these tech n o l ogies re a lly wel come? How shall we understand human iden ti ty wh en some people wi ll have had no paren t s ? Then,moving from the beginning of life to its end, The Halakhic Definition of Death in Light of Medical History places the current halakhic debate on whether brain death constitutes halakhic death in the context of a history of the past debates on defining the end of life.
