Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the Ancient World, grade: A-, , course: The Politicsof the Talmud, language: English, abstract: We learn of four Jewish sages that entered the "e;Pardes"e; In???? ???????-???????"e;???(?.)?????There is no nearer explanation in the text for what "e;Pardes"e; actually stands for, and there are different opinions about it, only the described situations in this context can give us an idea about it. In this short work I want to compare this passage and some of its images, symbols and features with some places in Plato's Phaedo that in my opinion can be fruitful for a better understanding for both texts vice versa - in the Platonic and in the Talmudic text.
