Question

A strange question. I’ll try to explain.
If in any case the depth of the Talmud is made up of conceptual, philosophical reasoning, and usually people end up linking the dispute among the medieval authorities (Rishonim), etc., to philosophical issues about the nature of time, ideas, and so on, then wouldn’t it be better just to look at the original source itself in the philosophical works that illustrate these ideas (Kant, Leibniz, etc.)? What’s the point of this whole long route?!
And as for the commandment of Torah study? The commandment of Torah study could, in my view, also be fulfilled by studying Kant this way, as has been explained several times.
