| contents | <p>Emmanuel Levinas wrote over twenty Talmudic readings. Throughout those readings, Levinas raised new ideas and attractive forms to access the Talmudic wisdom; this methodology becomes a philosophical way through which one can approach the Jewish wisdom; which contains teachings on the meaning of life, the very humanity of human being, criticisms of political violence, the relationship between justice and forgiveness or our responsibility and responsiveness to the other.<br>This work attempt to systematize the main features of this Levinasian methodology meant to read the Talmud and analyze whether this model constitutes a creative and useful interaction between Jewish thought and philosophy. What are the possibilities for contemporary philosophy when it dialogues with the Talmudic wisdom? Levinas shows us the advantages for actual philosophy of the attentive reading of Talmud, full of dialogue in tension, full of concepts set to examples.<br>Levinas teaches us we can start from the internal in order to reach the universal. We will not address the speciic content of Levinas’ over twenty Talmudic readings which may be more in line with the ethical proposal of the Lithuanian philosopher, but rather I’ll try to show how idelity to the rabbinic tradition is compatible with intuitions and developments of Phenomenology, Hermeneutics and Ethics, as of our author analyzed.</p> |
