The Open Past: Subjectivity and Remembering in the Talmud

2. Ego Cogito, Ego Meminí: I Think, Therefore I Remember

The chapter articulates the difference in the understanding of the role of memory in thiniking in modern ways of thinking, and in the way of thinking displayed in the late ancient texts of the Talmud. The chapter gives voice to otherwise tacit Cartesian foundations of modern Talmud scholars in their thinking about thinking in the Talmud.
