A scholar of philosophy now devoted to teaching Soloveitchik's thought, Schwartz begins his series with a literary and philosophical analysis of the essay Halakhic Man in particular, but also his early thinking during the period 1931-44. His topics include Homo religiosus/, halakhic man as cognitive man, the negation of metaphysics and of the messianic idea, repentance as creativity, and providence and prophecy.
