Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

..".Guetta's work, especially now that it is available in an English translation, should go a long way toward bringing Benamozegh's thought into contemporary dialogue." -- AJS Review

"Guetta carefully contextualizes the thinking of this last great Kabbalist on Italian soil against the background of earlier and contemporary Italian Jewish thought and general philosophical and theological trends throughout Europe. The result is a marvelous reconstruction of a highly original Jewish thinker attempting to carve a place for Jewish tradition within European culture through his innovative interpretations of Kabbalistic sapience and its relevance for the modern world." -- David B. Ruderman, Ella Darivoff Director, Center for Advanced Judaic Studies, University of Pennsylvania

"We should all be grateful for Alessandro Guetta's important study that places the little-known Jewish sage Benamozegh at the forefront of modern Kabbalists." -- David Appelbaum, author of Jacques Derrida's Ghost: A Conjuration

Reseña del editor:
