Rabbi Yitzchak Hutner's Theology of Meaning explores the profound, enigmatic, and novel thought of Rabbi Yitzchak Hutner, combining innovative analysis with rigorous textual and historical research. Through a reconstruction of his intellectual biography and the conceptual framework underlying his ideas, this volume generates a hermeneutical key to decipher his writings, revealing their focal points and systematic coherence, and positioning him as a post-existentialist theologian bridging Jewish tradition, modern philosophy, and existential inquiry. The methodology presented offers a valuable model for analyzing complex intellectual systems, making it essential reading for scholars of philosophy, theology, and intellectual history.
