Transcending Transcendence: Repentance and Hypernomian Transformation of Law |
|
This event is part of the CSWR's initiative, "Transcendence and Transformation."
This lecture by Elliot Wolfson examined the viability of a kabbalistic ideal of transformation from the vantage point of identifying repentance as the hypernomian foundation of the nomos, the grounding of the law in the ground that exceeds the law of the ground. He argued that the hallmark of religious nihilism is not antinomianism but the promulgation of the belief that impiety is the gesture of supreme piety. This event took place on November 18, 2021.
