Jewish Law / Torah versus Morality
Question
Hi Michi,
Could you point me to something organized that you’ve written about the distinction between morality and Jewish law / Torah? I mean a philosophical analysis of what they share and what separates them.
I’ve found some of your references to the topic here and there, but I’m looking for something more focused and systematic, if there is anything.
By the way, I’ll just say that, as far as I understand, your outlook is close to Leibowitz’s. Is that true?
Answer
I don’t recall anything written about it yet (I’m writing about it now in the trilogy). But there are audio lecture series on this topic, and you can listen to them on the site.
