Reseña

The thesis is straightforward: even though only now we can start to distinguish it, the Torah is made of fractals. It has situations, characters, themes, and literary structures that are in fact conceptual fractals. It has been suggesting, through them and since ever, a different way to construct the world, of relating to God and with ourselves, that opens new and unsuspected courses of action
This book explains what a fractal is and defines what it calls “a fractal relationship” and a “conceptual fractal”. It shows the main fractals that emerge along the Torah (the Pentateuch) by commenting each weekly portion (parashat hashavua) during a whole year cycle. It explores some theoretic and practical consequences that emerge from this reading of the text: for instance, about the way to construct the Other or manage memory, identity, justice, the environment or the economy. Finally, it proposes dialogues about this reading with thinkers of different times.
