Publisher Description "The Horizontal Society" is an exposition of rabbinic thought as exemplified by Maimonides. The thought streams of Greece, Rome, and Christendom serve as a contrast. This work is in the Hebrew rhetorical tradition of melisa. The main text in five sections - The God of Israel, The Books of Israel, The Governance of Israel, The Memory of Israel, and The Folly of Israel - focuses on these core matters. It includes numerous references to orient the reader. The mode is similar to the authors previous work, such as "Golden Doves with Silver Dots: Semiotics and Textuality in Rabbinic Tradition", interacting with the latest thought from todays academy.This book illustrates the horizontal organisation of the Jewish people. Other social organisation is based on hierarchy. Two principles made this difference possible for Israel. First, the Hebrew Scriptures alone propose that every human being is created in the image of God. This necessitates the absolute equality of every human being. Second, the Sinai covenant establishes the Law as the supreme authority. Whereas in other societies, might is the source of authority, in Judaism authority is limited by the Law.These principles were summarised by the last Prophet of Israel: Had not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously..., profaning the covenant of our fathers? (Mal 2:10). There is a subdivided bibliography of forty pages, including both Jewish and Western sources. The scholarly apparatus includes indices of terms, names, and subjects. There are also seventy appendices of interest to a rabbinic readership. Author Biography Jose Faur is Professor of Talmud at Bar Ilan University. His latest books are Homo Mysticus: A Guide to Maimonidess Guide for the Perplexed (1999); In the Shadow of History: Jews and Conversos at the Dawn of Modernity (1992).
