Pluralism and skepticism

שו”תCategory: philosophyPluralism and skepticism
asked 9 years ago

Hello Rabbi,
My name is A., I am a company officer in a fighting battalion, in my twenties, a graduate of Mount Moriah and Ma’ale Eliyahu.
I read God Plays Dice and The Science of Freedom and more.
I saw an interview with the Rabbi in London & Kirshenbaum, and there was a bit of a skeptical pluralistic direction in the Rabbi’s words, in my opinion, that I was surprised about the Rabbi, who until then had thought that the Rabbi would not be considered a student of Rabbi Shagar.

Hello A. I don’t know what you meant by what I said (I don’t remember what was there either). In general, I am tolerant but not pluralist (in Two Carts I explained the difference. You can also see in the article on my website here:
מחירה של הסובלנות
Additionally, I don’t believe in certainties. As humans, we have no way of reaching certainty about anything. But that is of course neither skeptical nor pluralistic. I am not one of Rabbi Shagar’s students at all. I have extremely harsh criticism of him (I wrote in part about his book Broken Tools while he was still alive. It’s on the website. You can see another criticism on YouTube on the eve of the launch of his book Tablets and Fragments of Tablets, where there is a lecture of mine).
