Going beyond Allan Bloom's The Closing of the American Mind, Eidelberg shows how the cardinal principles of democracy--freedom and equality--can be saved from the degradation of moral relativism by applying Jewish law to these principles. He attempts to overcome the dichotomy of religion and secularism as well as other contradictions of Western civilization by means of a philosophy of history that uses thoroughly rational concepts and is supported by empirical evidence.
Eidelberg elucidates that characteristics that make Jewish law particularly suited to reopening the secular mind and elevating democracy's formative principles.
