This book presents an inductive account, through systematic inquiry
into data, of the hermeneutics of the principal documents of
Rabbinic Judaism. It undertakes a hypothetical-logical
reconstruction of the thought-processes that generated the
category-formations of the Halakhah, that is, the exegesis of the
hermeneutics of Halakhic exegesis. To do so, Neusner asks whether a
determinate theory of interpretation guides the sages in their
exposition of the topics, the category-formations, of Rabbinic
Judaism in the documents that expound those formations. His answer
is, a hermeneutics of comparison and contrast yielding a
hierarchical classification of data governs the selection of data
and the interpretation thereof for the entire corpus of
category-formations of the Halakhah. Hence 'Halakhic hermeneutics'
here bears the primary meaning, 'a hermeneutics of
analogical-contrastive analysis.'
