{"product_id":"deconstructing-the-talmud-federico-dal-bo-9781138208223","title":"Deconstructing the Talmud: The Absolute Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis monograph uses deconstruction--a philosophical movement originated by Jacques Derrida--to read the most authoritative book in Judaism: the Talmud. Examining deconstruction in comparison with Kant's and Hegel's philosophies, the volume argues that the movement opens an innovative debate on Jewish Law. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst, the monograph interprets deconstruction within the major streams of continental philosophy; then, it criticizes many aspects of Foucault's and Agamben's philosophy, rejecting their notion of law. On these premises, the research delivers a close examination of many fundamental aspects of the Talmud. Consequently, it provides a short history of Rabbinic literature, a history of the dissemination of the Talmud from Babylon to Northern France, and an analysis of Talmudic vocabulary from a deconstructive perspective. Each key concept of the Talmud is analysed according to the deconstructive dialectics between orality and writing. Closing with a comparison between the Talmud and Derrida's most enigmatic text, \u003cem\u003eGlas\u003c\/em\u003e, the study argues that deconstruction dismantles the traditional notion of the Talmud to outline a new approach to Jewish Law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReading the Talmud through deconstruction, this new angle makes the volume an essential resource for students and scholars interested in Jewish studies, continental philosophy, and the Middle East.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Federico Dal Bo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138208221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138208223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Federico Dal Bo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087710597375,"sku":"9781138208223","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_68c1d6aa-4821-43c6-bf26-1d0d4f998740.jpg?v=1769100969","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deconstructing-the-talmud-federico-dal-bo-9781138208223","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
