The essence of “study”

I recently read some of the rabbi’s articles on Hasidism.
In your words, you need the concept of “study” [any study, even if it is not Torah study],
And you argued that the meaning of learning exists only if there is active activity on the part of the listener or reader.
That is, according to your claim [Tohed in column 104], if there is no act of thinking and reaching insights or conclusions from what is being learned, it is not learning.
And I am making it difficult, a lesson that aims to convey knowledge on a specific subject [such as history, mathematics, etc.], where all that is required of the student is
Isn’t understanding and remembering what one learns called learning?
Second: As is known, the Talmud’s unsigned style allows for reflection on what is being taught and possibilities for new innovations.
Maimonides, on the other hand, wrote the Hadith in the opposite style so that the person would know the conclusions and would not be burdened with uncertainty.
As I understood him, in his opinion, this is how the Torah began: a collection of [relatively] ordered laws divided into chapters and sections.
And again, isn’t studying Torah like this, that is, acquiring knowledge from a book for the sake of memorization and recall, considered “studying Torah”?
thanks.
