Tsimtsum and Modernity
Bielik-Robson, Agata / Weiss, Daniel H.
This volume is the first ever collection of essays in philosophy, theology, and intellectual history, devoted to the Lurianic concept of tsimtsum. It contains eighteen texts which demonstrate the historical development of this notion and its evolving meaning: from the Hebrew Bible and the classical midrashic collections, through Kabbalah, Isaac Luria himself, and his disciples, up to modernity.
