Abstract

Rabbinic literature contains several examples of a manner of silencing impious arguments that is usually identified only with later forms of piety, namely, ascribing the arguments to the evil inclination ( yetzerhara ). Arguments attributed to the yetzer represent serious discursive threats against rabbinic doctrine, marking fundamental problems in both its legal and nonlegal (aggadic) parts. Identifying a question or refutation as belonging to the yetzer automatically invalidates it. By ascribing arguments to the yetzer , the rabbis prevent their audience from actually engaging them, thus marking the limits of rabbinic dialogism.
反驳叶泽尔:拉比话语的邪恶倾向与局限
拉比文学包含了几个例子的方式沉默不虔诚的论点,通常只与后来形式的虔诚,即,归因于邪恶的倾向(yetzerhara)的论点。归因于《耶策》的争论代表了对拉比教义的严重话语威胁,标志着其法律和非法律(aggadic)部分的根本问题。识别属于yetzer的问题或反驳会自动使其无效。拉比们把论点归于耶特泽,从而阻止了他们的听众真正参与其中,从而标志着拉比对话的局限性。
