This book providies an ethical framework for understanding the purpose of Jewish law (halakha). It begins by interpreting idolatry as self-worship, and explores the idea, advocated by Moses Maimonides,  that Jewish law aims at curing people of idolatry. It also provides a new view of holiness that draws on Heidegger's and Kant's aesthetics.
