Sinopsis

This book studies Talmudic temporal logic and compares it with the logic of time in contemporary law.Following a general introduction about the logical handling of time, the book examines several key Talmudic debates involving time.The book finds that we need multi-dimensional temporal models with backward causation and parallel histories.It seems that two major issues are involved:1 Actions conditional about future actions (Tenayim), connecting with backward causality2 Actions involving entities defined using future events (Breira), connecting with ideas from quantum MechanicsThe book concludes with a general comparative discussion of the handling of time in general law and in the Talmud.

The Talmudic mode o...

Analysis of Concepts and States in Talmudic Reasoning

Dov Gabbay / Israel Belfer / Michael Abraham

In this book we deal with combinations of concepts defining individuals in the Talmud. Consider for example Yom Kippur and Shabbat. Each concept has its own body of laws. Reality forces us to combine them when they occur on the same day. This is a case of 'Identity Merging'. As the combined body of laws may be inconsistent, we need a belief revision mechanism to reconcile the c...
