Book synopsis

Talmudic culture is often viewed as bound by its traditions. Menachem Fisch maintains that a close reading of talmudic texts frequently reveals their authors as rabbis who, rather than conform uncritically to tradition, knowingly set out to expose and resolve problems inherent in the received traditions. Menachem Fisch is Senior Lecturer in the Cohn Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Ideas, Tel Aviv University, and Fellow of the Shalom Hartman Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies, Jerusalem. He is author of William Whewell, Philosopher of Science and co-editor (with Simon Schaffer) of "William Whewell : A Composite Portrait".
