Suffering Time: Philosophical, Kabbalistic, and Ḥasidic Reflections on Temporality

by Elliot R. Wolfson

No one theory of time is pursued in the essays of this volume, but a major theme that threads them together is Wolfsons signature idea of the timeswerve as a linear circularity or a circular linearity, expressions that are meant to avoid the conventional split between the two temporal modalities of the line and the circle.

An impressive collection of essays on the question of time and Kabbalah. Sharp and well-researched readings of significant figures both in the Kabbalistic tradition and in 20th century thought.
