Opinion: What the Talmud can teach us about how to argue with each other
By Daniella Greenbaum Davis April 17 at 4:39 PM Daniella Greenbaum Davis is a Spectator USA columnist and a senior contributor for the Federalist.
Google will tell you that the Talmud comprises 2,711 pages, but that number is misleading. Talmud pages are large and wide and subdivided into pages within pages — so closer to 6,000 pages would be more like it. The Talmud is filled with interlocutors who find themselves on opposing sides of a debate. Yet these opponents don’t work as enemies or make ad hominem attacks; they come off as collegial sparring partners, testing ideas for weaknesses and inconsistencies, aiming not to win but to find truth.
