Hello Rabbi

Hello Rabbi, a question regarding the Shivite scholarly tradition. Is it correct to associate the Briske method to a certain extent with the Rambamist approach, that doing God’s will is knowing the truth, and therefore the issue is only a brief summary of this? Thank you
(NB Although they may define the truth differently, because while the Rambam excels in explaining the reasons for the commandments in order to know God through them, this is not interesting to them, and the very knowledge of what God said is important.)

In this sense, perhaps yes. Although for Maimonides the truth in question is a philosophical-theological truth, and the Briskerians do not deal with this.
