Reihe: Emunot: Jewish Philosophy and Kabbalah

Following Wittgenstein, this book investigates the dialogic, aesthetic and mystical language-games of Zelda, Yehuda Amichai, Admiel Kosman, and Shimon Adaf based on their family resemblance of intertextuality in their language-games. It resists common social-cultural categorizations while focusing on Wittgenstein's universal concepts.

Über Autor(innen)

As a lecturer in the unit of interdisciplinary studies in Bar-Ilan University, Dorit Lemberger's researches exemplify the relevance and importance of linguistic concepts to Hebrew literature and Jewish philosophy. Also, I use psychoanalytic insights in order to show the common linguistic ground of literature and psychoanalysis, as 'talking-cure'.
