Question about two strollers
Peace and blessings.
I just read the Rabbi’s book “Two Carts” and there are things that seem to me to not fit with things that the Rabbi seems to be more reluctant about today. Now the Rabbi may have changed his mind (after all, twenty years), but I wanted to understand more.
The rabbi touches on the importance of Torah knowledge and the possibility of accepting opinions that contradict each other in a non-serious analytical way (such as knowledge of God and free choice), and it is not clear how this is expressed in the blog, since it seems that the rabbi (rightly) does not exempt the great men of the generation from criticism, even though it can be argued that they have a better synthetic understanding. In addition, it seems that the rabbi does not lightly accept logical contradictions, despite the possibility of distinguishing between at least serious analytical contradictions.
Therefore, I would be happy if the rabbi could explain a little better how the concepts presented in the book are expressed.

If so, then I didn't understand the meaning of "Da'at Torah" in the book. On the surface, it would seem like someone with a more developed intuition, which seems harder to criticize, doesn't it?
Forget Torah and definitions. Can't you criticize someone who is wise? I don't understand this question.
Analytical criticism Yes, regarding synthetic criticism one needs to think about how to get the assumptions right, and if I understood correctly the correct assumptions according to the rabbi's method come as a result of developing the synthetic muscle - which develops in Torah study.
I want to emphasize that this does not come from a position of opposing criticism of rabbis, but rather trying to understand what the rabbi meant.
