Question

Hello Rabbi, I wanted to ask your opinion about comparing analytic and synthetic thinking to Greek thought and Jewish thought. Rabbi Jonathan Sacks has a book, The Great Partnership, where he goes on at length arguing something along these lines. There is Greek thought, which relied on intellect and on man in an extreme way, with a clear tendency toward rationalism, which ultimately led in our day to purely logical thinking without relying on intuition, which seemingly appears irrational; as opposed to Jewish thought, which did not place so much importance on intellect (the analytic) but had something beyond that.
