Rabbi’s Attitude Toward Modernity
Question
Hello Rabbi,
I’d be happy to get references where I can read about the Rabbi’s attitude toward modernity.
By “modernity” I mean the modern revolution in thought (especially around Kant).
Answer
That’s too general a question. I don’t recall such an article, and I also don’t really know what it would be supposed to deal with. Each issue needs to be considered on its own merits. I don’t care whether a given argument is modern or not. What matters is whether it is correct or not.
