Maimonides

Question

Rabbi, have a good week.
According to Maimonides’ interpretation regarding the sin of eating from the Tree of Knowledge, the meaning of the command not to eat from it is unclear. After all, the decision to keep the commandment is a voluntary, value-based decision, unrelated to reason—truth or falsehood. So how can Maimonides say that before the sin, the human world was only a world of reason?
According to this, there is no point in commanding a person to make any value-based decision if his world contains only truth and falsehood and not good and evil.

Answer

I didn’t understand the question. Even if a person acted according to reason, reason still has to be told what is correct.
