Jewish Mysticism & Kabbalah

Language, Eros, Being

Kabbalistic Hermeneutics and Poetic Imagination

by Elliot R. Wolfson

A major Fordham work, this book explores the Kabbalistic understanding of language, body, time and eros in dialogue with continental philosophy. Wolfson argues that Kabbalah treats the world as text and the text as body. Densely argued and wide-ranging, it is for advanced readers interested in mystical hermeneutics and philosophical approaches to Jewish mysticism. Its notes form a bibliography of their own.
