Q&A: Philosophy books of a caliber that give wings to Jewish faith
Philosophy books of a caliber that give wings to Jewish faith
Question
For example, God Plays Dice. I’d be glad if you, or the site’s members, could recommend something if you know of any.
Answer
God Plays Dice is not connected to Jewish faith. It relates to the philosophical question of whether God exists, in a general philosophical sense (not specifically a Jewish one). What gives faith wings can be any philosophy book in any field, if it speaks to you. I think that broadening one’s knowledge, concepts, and ideas gives wings in general, and naturally also to faith in particular. The question is not how to deepen faith, but how to broaden your horizons. The lift for faith, and in general, will come on its own. Broadening horizons is a function of your own interests, and I don’t think there’s any algorithm for it. Read and learn according to a free-flowing unfolding.
