Judaic Technologies of the Word: A Cognitive Analysis of Jewish Cultural Formation

by Gabriel Levy

Overview

Judaic Technologies of the Word argues that Judaism does not exist in an abstract space of reflection. Rather, it exists both in artifacts of the material world - such as texts - and in the bodies, brains, hearts, and minds of individual people. More than this, Judaic bodies and texts, both oral and written, connect and feed back on one another.
