Does the Law have anything to hide? Talmudic categories for laws meant not to be taught.

When dealing with the exceptions to the commandment of teaching the Law, the Talmud makes use of various principles. Two of them are “Halakha ve-ein morin ken” (“This is the Law, but it is not taught”) and “Assur le-omro bifnei am ha-aretz” (“It is prohibited to say it in front of an ignoramus”).

In this lecture I will define these principles and others from the Talmudic literature, relevant to this topic. Additionally, I will borrow concepts from the Philosophy of Law, in order to determine whether the above-mentioned principles are examples of non-applicability of a Law in Talmudic Law, and if not, what legal concepts can help define them.
