Summary
An innovative attempt to read Plato with the Talmud, and the Talmud with Plato, this book examines Platonic and Talmudic dialogues to show that in a sense they are not dialogic at all, but a monological discursive form yoked incongruously with a comic mode.
Bibliography, etc. Note
Includes bibliographical references (p. [355]-369) and index.
