: Radical subjectivity : law and self-knowledge in the Babylonian Talmud
This book examines the emergence of self-knowledge as a determining legal consideration
among the rabbis of Late Antiquity, from the third to the seventh centuries CE. Based
on close readings of rabbinic texts from Palestine and Babylonia, Ayelet Hoffmann
Libson highlights a unique and surprising developing in Talmudic jurisprudence, whereby
legal decision-making incorporated personal and subjective information. She examines
the central legal role accorded to individuals' knowledge of their bodies and mental
states in areas of law as diverse as purity laws, family law and the laws of Sabbath.
By focusing on subjectivity and self-reflection, the Babylonian rabbis transformed
earlier legal practices in a way that cohered with the cultural concerns of other
religious groups in Late Antiquity. They developed sophisticated ideas about the inner
self and incorporated these notions into their distinctive discourse of law
