In a profound look at what it means for new generations to read and interpret ancient religious texts, rabbi and philosopher Marc-Alain Quaknin offers a postmodern reading of the Talmud, one of the first of its kind. This remarkable book is rich in suggestive ideas, including the proposal that thought has its highest ethical function when it refuses wisdom in favor of asking a question that it cannot answer. This book is a paperback, has 336 pages, and is published by Princeton Paperbacks.
