Aharon David Gordon was a central figure in the early twentieth century pioneering community that built the infrastructure for a Jewish homeland in the Land of Israel. The present work demonstrates the extent to which Gordon’s philosophy of human existence, as a natural phenomenon, holds the key for understanding and confronting many of the problems facing Jewish and human existence in the present.
