Critique of Wolfson's method in reading philosophical and theological texts
Wolfson,The well-known Jewish philosopher,sought to rewrite the history of Western philosophy with a focus on Judaism.To do this he used the hypothetical-inferential method or the Talmudic method of studying texts In this way.he sought unresolved problems,unknown sources,unknown relationships,and unknown paths of philosophy.The challenge of understanding the origin,structure,and diversity of philosophical systems was fascinating to him.Although there was no connection between Talmudic study and philosophical research,he made the best use of a methodological affinity between them.This method is based on the assumption that there is no real contradiction in the thoughts of a real thinker.Obviously,by finding a case of violation,one can question the above assumption and, consequently,Wolfson's method. Coherent and systematic presentation of a thinker's thoughts and expression of the unspoken and unwritten thoughts of his thoughts,linking irrelevant contents and resolving the apparent contradictions of a thinker's thoughts are The most important functions of this method.His.use of terms regardless of their historical evolution,imposing his intellectual framework on the thinker in question,exaggeration and arbitrariness in choosing the text, and Judaizing the history of thought and his support for Jewish thought are the most important criticisms this method.
