"Sayings of the Jewish Fathers" is a collection of teachings, ethical maxims, and sayings attributed to Jewish sages from the early centuries BCE. This collection is also known as "Pirkei Avot" in Hebrew. However, I must clarify that "Sayings of the Jewish Fathers" is not written by Charles Taylor."Pirkei Avot" is a compilation of ethical and moral teachings from various Jewish scholars and sages, primarily from the Second Temple period (approximately 5th century BCE to 1st century CE). These teachings cover a wide range of topics, including ethical behavior, wisdom, humility, and the pursuit of righteousness.Charles Taylor (1931–2018) was a Canadian philosopher, known for his work in the fields of political philosophy, ethics, and the philosophy of language. It's possible that he wrote about or commented on "Pirkei Avot" or Jewish ethics, but it's not a direct connection with the traditional collection of sayings itself.
