Suffering Time: Philosophical, Kabbalistic, and Ḥasidic Reflections on Temporality

No one theory of time is pursued in the essays of this volume, but a major theme that threads them together is Wolfson's signature idea of the timeswerve as a linear circularity or a circular linearity, expressions that are meant to avoid the conventional split between the two temporal modalities of the line and the circle.
