Objet de mystères, entouré de légendes, dénigré, censuré, brûlé parfois, le Talmud est l'un des fondements du judaïsme. Il reste cependant mal connu d'un large public. Quelle est l'inspiration commune à ces textes qui abordent tous les aspects de l'existence humaine ? Quelles sont les grandes conceptions talmudiques sur le droit, sur la morale, sur la politique, sur les relations familiales et sociales ? Georges Hansel dévoile non seulement les principes de base du Talmud, mais aussi l'inspiration qui en fait l'unité : la fusion intime entre, d'un côté, l'abstraction et l'idéal le plus pur et le plus élevé et, de l'autre, le concret, la substance même de la vie de tous les jours.

Law is the most sacred fetish of our time. From radicals to conservatives, there is no militant, activist or thinker who would consider doing without it. But the history of our fascination with law is long and complex, and reaches deeper into our culture than we might think. In After Law, Laurent de Sutter takes us on a journey to uncover the sources of our fascination. He shows that at a certain moment in our history a choice was made to treat law as a decisive feature of civilization, but this choice was neither obvious nor necessary. Other political, social, religious or cultural possibilities could have been chosen instead – from ancient Egypt to Mesopotamia, from medieval Japan to China, from Islam to Judaism, other cultures have devised sophisticated tools to help people live together without having to deal with norms, rules and principles. This is a lesson worth reflecting on, especially at a time when the rule of law and the functioning of justice are increasingly showing their sinister side – and their impotence. Is there life beyond law?

Nine rich and masterful readings of the Talmud by the French Jewish philosopher Emmanuel Levinas translate Jewish thought into the language of modern times. Between 1963 and 1975, Levinas delivered these commentaries at the annual Talmudic colloquia of a group of French Jewish intellectuals in Paris. In this collection, Levinas applies a hermeneutic that simultaneously allows the classic Jewish texts to shed light on contemporary problems and lets modern problems illuminate the texts. Besides being quintessential illustrations of the art of reading, the essays express the deeply ethical vision of the human condition that makes Levinas one of the most important thinkers of our time.

One of the outstanding and remarkable traits of Jews throughout their history, several thousand years old, has been their creativity in all fields, especially in science. They have participated in an impressive way in the questioning of values, the dismantling of dogmas, and the irruption of hidden forces. It can be stressed from the outset that the contributions of the Jews to science was out of proportion to the percentage of the population they represent. This remains true for the chemistry of the twentieth century. Through the life and work of twenty-three Nobel Prize winners in chemistry, the author gives us a fascinating story of these men, often exiles and of modest origins, whose science was their vocation and the sharing of knowledge their creed.

The reputation and influence of Emmanuel Levinas (1906–96) has grown powerfully. Well known in France in his lifetime, he has since his death become widely regarded as a major European moral philosopher profoundly shaped by his Jewish background. A pupil of Husserl and Heidegger, Levinas pioneered new forms of exegesis with his post-modern readings of the Talmud, and as an ethicist brought together religious and non-religious, Jewish and non-Jewish traditions of contemporary thought. Richard A. Cohen has written a book which uses Levinas' work as its base but goes on to explore broader questions of interpretation in the context of text-based ethical thinking. Levinas' reorientation of philosophy is considered in critical contrast to alternative contemporary approaches such as those found in modern science, psychology, Nietzsche, Freud, Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida and Ricoeur. Cohen explores a manner of philosophizing which he terms 'ethical exegesis'.

One of the most remarkable things about the Jewish people over the last several thousand years has been their creativity in many fields, especially in science. They have also been impressive in their participation in questioning values, dismantling dogmas, and the disruption of hidden forces. We must underscore the fact that the contribution of Jews to science was out of proportion to the percentage of the population that they represent. In illustrating the lives and work of these 33 Nobel Prize winners in physics, the author analyzes the factors which favored these prodigious breakthroughs by Jewish scholars. “In the first part of the book, the author shows us with great erudition that the quest and great respect for knowledge have always marked the Jewish communities. The second part shows us an impressive fresco of contemporary physics where, in one Nobel Prize biography after another with lively and easy-to-read texts, we follow the development of a beautiful epic through the entire twentieth century.” — from the Foreword by Maurice Jacob/CERN

After the end of superstitious religion, what is the meaning of the world? Baruch Spinoza's answer is truth, Emmanuel Levinas's is goodness: science versus ethics. In Out of Control, Richard A. Cohen brings this debate to life, providing a nuanced exposition of Spinoza and Levinas and the confrontations between them in ethics, politics, science, and religion. Spinoza is the control, the inexorable defensive logic of administrative rationality, where freedom is equated to necessity—a seventeenth-century glimpse of Orwellian doublespeak and Big Brother. Levinas is the way out: transcendence not of God, being, and logic but of the other person experienced as moral obligation. To alleviate the suffering of others—nothing is more important! Spinoza wagers everything on mathematical truth, discarding the rest as ignorance and illusion; for Levinas, nothing surpasses the priorities of morality and justice, to create a world in which humans can be human and not numbers or consumers, drudges or robots. Situating these two thinkers in today's context, Out of Control responds to the fear of dehumanization in a world flattened by the alliance of positivism and plutocracy. It offers a nonideological ethical alternative, a way out and up, in the nobility of one human being helping another, and the solidarity that moves from morality to justice.

Le Talmud, mise par écrit de la tradition orale, est devenu la colonne vertébrale du judaïsme. Il reste pourtant peu connu ou mal compris, non seulement du grand public, mais même de bien des lettrés, désorientés à la fois par la richesse vertigineuse de son contenu et par le caractère sans équivalent de sa méthodologie. Cet ouvrage se propose, par l’étude d’un large ensemble de problèmes, de saisir la pensée talmudique de l’intérieur, d’en mettre en évidence l’unité et la philo-sophie sous-jacente. La loi du talion, le sens du respect des parents, les lois du deuil, la relation entre la prophétie et la loi d’un côté, entre le Talmud et le texte biblique de l’autre, l’interprétation de la figure d’Abraham, la notion de « Terre promise », la relation avec l’islam, sont autant de questions que la lecture des textes talmudiques ou de talmudistes invite à reconsidérer. La dernière partie de l’ouvrage tient une place à part. Elle met en évidence la liaison entre la progression des recherches philo-sophiques d’Emmanuel Levinas et ses positions relative au judaïsme, au christianisme et au politique. Mathématicien, Georges Hansel a mené, parallèlement à ses travaux scientifiques, de longues recherches sur l’exégèse juive aux côtés d’Emmanuel Levinas. Il est l’auteur d’Explorations talmudiques et de Levinas Concordance.
