Why This, Not That?: Ways Not Taken in the Halakhic Category-Formations of the Mishnah-Tosefta-Yerushalmi-Bavli

Overview

This book concerns the definition of the category-formations of the Halakhah, which are defined by the Mishnah: why these, not others? The question breaks into two parts: why the particular method that is identified as the generative hermeneutics of the Halakhah, or law, of that Judaism? Second, can we account for the topics that the Mishnah-Tosefta-Yerushalmi-Bavli would introduce into the system, beyond the repertoire at the foundations defined by the analytical-topical hermeneutics that defines the normative category-formations?
