Maimonides and the Maharal on the Responsibility of Individuals
Question
I just read in the second book of the trilogy your remarks about the dispute between Maimonides and the Maharal regarding the responsibility of individuals toward the government (pp. 332–333), and the connection to Stalin’s biography and to the right and the left. Really, really beautiful. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you.
I wanted to ask: have you written about this at length anywhere? Is there a post or expanded article on it? I’d be happy to get an answer.
Answer
See Column 67.
