Auditory Logic
Question
Hello Rabbi. From what I understood from your books, the Rabbi places intuition on the side of Hebrew-auditory logic, whereas from what I saw in The Voice of Prophecy, Rabbi HaNazir places intuition on the other side.
“Hebrew logic is auditory, not speculative; acoustic, not intuitive-visual.” (The Voice of Prophecy)
A. Is the Rabbi trying to remain faithful to Rabbi HaNazir’s approach?
B. What did Rabbi HaNazir mean when he said “acoustic”?
Answer
This is a semantic matter. For Rabbi HaNazir, intuition is connected to visual contemplation, visual logic. What I call intuition is reflection with the mind’s eye, something like listening within auditory logic.
