Shame!: (an Other Guide for the Perplexed)

McGinley, John W.
Shame!: (an Other Guide for the Perplexed)
This is an idiosyncratic work of no specific genre, which deals with the "space" created by the intersection of philosophy, religion and psychoanalysis. The author explores Derrideanesque deconstruction, post-Freudian psychoanalysis and the feminist critique of the Freudian text.

The Forbidden Relations and the Early Tannaim

McGinley, John W.
The Forbidden Relations and the Early Tannaim
Is there an idiosyncratically Jewish hermeneutic? Did such ever obtain in Jewish history? Is there an idiosyncratically Jewish theology? Did such ever obtain in Jewish history? Did the two ever obtain at once and together in Jewish history? The answer to all of these questions is: Yes. Come and explore -- with an idiosyncratically odd interpreter of things Jewish -- a special brief moment in the history of Jewish letters. One is speaking of ro...

Miasma

McGinley, John W
Miasma
This book explains how Duns Scotus's concept of 'Haecceitas'¿thisness, or individuation¿represents an insufficiently recognized yet central aspect of Aristotelianism, namely its denial of and flight from 'the play of difference' that was a core aspect of Plato's philosophy.

"The Written" as the Vocation of Conceiving Jewishly

McGinley, John W
"The Written" as the Vocation of Conceiving Jewishly
Not unlike Rimbaud's "batteau ivre, " Judaism drifts further and further away from its life-force and source without which Judaism cannot long endure. This book is a challenge to the true "talmudim" within Jewish Orthodoxy to boldly reclaim for Judaism and reinscribe into Jewish study and practice that which was suppressed at the very dawn of Rabbinic Judaism. Only by so doing can Judaism be nourished once more by its life-force and source. Fu...

Rabbi Meir and Other Related Matters

McGinley, John W.
Rabbi Meir and Other Related Matters
The plethora of wonderful people, services and events which I have found in Orthodox shuls in my search for a Jewish home far outweigh what I am now going to mention. But what I am now going to mention could prove fatal to Orthodoxy, and therefore, to all of Judaism. It is not that I did not find this same trait-although not quite so pronounced-in Conservative shuls. But that doesn't matter. For the future of Judaism as a whole is with Orthodo...

The Secret Diary of Ben Zoma

McGinley, John W.
The Secret Diary of Ben Zoma
So. Think about this. Once this foreigner is brought into the House of Israel ((albeit a foreigner who emerged from the House of Israel)) and then comes to rule it, the House of Israel itself ended up becoming, in fact, a collective apostate alienated from its burning living center. In the following I acknowledge the paradox involved in what I am saying given what is said in the Gemaric commentaries about "Akher." But again, think it through. ...

The God With Moral Fault

McGinley, John W
The God With Moral Fault
In the timeless time of eternity, does God have a pre-history? What was God "before" (so to speak) God became GOD? Was there some terrible mistake involving culpability? If so, how did this God of pre-history handle His mistake? Availing himself of certain currents found in Scripture and in classical Rabbinic sources, the author makes the case that God is a being with moral fault. The author argues that how God handled His mistake was the proc...

McGinley, John W.
About the King's Choice to Build His Palace Right On Top of the Dunghill
While remaining acutely aware of the shortcomings of both Heidegger and Derrida, the writer nevertheless uses insights and terminology from their discourse in the service of exposing the historical and thought trends which have alienated Judaism from what makes it tick. The writer makes the claim the a careful analysis of the final redaction of the Babylonian Talmud points the way towards a retrieval of Judaism's "burning living center" reveal...
