Divided into four areas of investigation--the meditative, the analytic, the diasporic and the ecological reader--it is an invitation to turn to premodern reading practices related to spiritual exercises as well as modern reading practices devoted to the critical pursuit of analytical knowledge. This study further reflects on the textual models of Jewish diaspora as another form of dialog between sacred and secular interpretive practices, before examining a final variation on this distinction by looking at the separation between contemplative and investigative perspectives on reading and writing nature UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9780429200786 UR - http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf ER -
