A Little Philosophy or Nothing at All
Question
Hello Rabbi,
Is there, in your opinion, any benefit to learning a few concepts in philosophy, or does someone who is not a professional in the field gain no benefit from it at all? It would seem, on the face of it, that if one does not study philosophy systematically, one does not achieve the goal.
Answer
There is benefit in any study, and of course the more one studies, the more benefit there is. Even if you begin with basic concepts, you can later continue if you wish.
