Philosophy for beginners and philosophy books online
Hello Rabbi,
A. Reading the wonderful book ‘The First Matzoi’ aroused in me a desire to understand a little about philosophy, which to me is almost like Turkish. Can the rabbi recommend how I can begin?
on. And another question, not necessarily for the Rabbi but for all surfers, is whether and where one can read basic books on modern philosophy online for free (Kant’s Day, etc.)
C. And while I’m writing here, another small question: does the rabbi know anything about the teachings of Christopher Langan, one of the most brilliant people in the world, who, according to Wikipedia https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%9B%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%A1%D7%98%D7%95%D7%A4%D7%A8_%D7%9C%D7%A0%D7%92%D7%9F , developed some theory to “prove the existence of God on a rational and mathematical basis.”
Thank you for the wonderful books and all the articles.
Hello.
A. I have often been asked how to study philosophy. I don’t know the answer to that. You have to start by reading introductory books and then progress according to your interests and inclinations.
B. I don’t know. In libraries.
C. Don’t know.
If I may, I would recommend studying philosophy through the Open University's books. They are written in a clear and accessible manner.
Also, the books of Samuel Hugo Bergman.
Speaking of Langen. See what he wrote:
“I believe in the theory of evolution, but I also believe in the allegorical truth of the theory of creation. In other words, I believe that evolution, including the principle of natural selection, is one of the tools used by God to create humanity. Humanity is then co-created with the universe itself, so we have a closed loop. I believe that there is a level at which science and religious metaphor are mutually compatible”
