Aaron W. Hughes presents the first major study of dialogue as a
Jewish philosophical practice. Examining connections between Jewish
philosophy, the literary form in which it is expressed, and the
culture in which it is produced, Hughes shows how Jews understood
and struggled with their social, religious, and intellectual
environments. In this innovative and insightful book, Hughes
addresses various themes associated with the literary form of
dialogue as well as its philosophical reception: Why did various
thinkers choose dialogue? What did it allow them to accomplish? How
do the literary features of dialogue construct philosophical
argument? As a history of philosophical form, context, and
practice, this book will interest scholars and students working at
the intersections of religious studies, philosophy, and
literature.
