Entering Pardes: Paradoxes of Jewish, Christian, and Secular Culture
14.99 €
Pardes is a heavenly palace where the Apostle Paul and the sages of the Talmud ascended in dreams or in reality. There they saw wondrous things, but were also exposed to mortal danger. Those who entered Pardes could die, go mad or follow the path of evil. Similar is the fate of European intellectuals living in the world of Jewish, Christian and Hellenic concepts and images: “teaching and performance”, “word and deed”, “harmony and disharmony”, “ascension” and “burnt offering”. The book is an attempt to trace the fate of these concepts and images from the Bible and Talmud to cinema, poetry and philosophy of our time.
