Realism, Reference, and Jewish Theology
Abstract
Chapter 1 introduces realism and reference and provides an account of why these issues have been ignored in Jewish philosophy and theology. The second half of the chapter demonstrates that antitheoretical accounts have been dominant in the study of rabbinic theology and that a realist approach has significant historical and constructive advantages.
