Between 1963 and 1975, Levinas delivered these commentaries at the annual Talmudic colloquia of a group of French Jewish intellectuals in Paris. In this collection, Levinas applies a hermeneutic that simultaneously allows the classic Jewish texts to shed light on contemporary problems and lets modern problems illuminate the texts. Besides being quintessential illustrations of the art of reading, the essays express the deeply ethical vision of the human condition that makes Levinas one of the most important thinkers of our time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eLevinas's Talmudic Readings: Thirty Years Later \/ Annette Aronowicz\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Translator's Introduction \/ Annette Aronowicz\u003cbr\u003e Four Talmudic Readings\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Toward the Other\u003cbr\u003e The Temptation of Temptation\u003cbr\u003e Promised Land or Permitted Land\u003cbr\u003e \"As Old as the World?\"\u003cbr\u003e From the Sacred to the Holy: Five New Talmudic Readings\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Judaism and Revolution\u003cbr\u003e The Youth of Israel\u003cbr\u003e Desacralization and Disenchantment\u003cbr\u003e And God Created Woman\u003cbr\u003e Damages Due to Fire\u003cbr\u003e Glossary\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52520711225624,"sku":"9780253040497","price":24.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/nine-talmudic-readings-paperback-softback-9780253040497","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
