It is very important that any Authentic Jew distance himself from studying Philosophy in any way, shape or form. What is Philosophy anyway? Philosophy really boils down to: the attempt to answer the important and imperative questions of life using man’s ability to distinguish between truth an non-truth. All other rosy and wordy explanations about philosophy are just that – lip service, but the simple truth is what we have setout herein.
Well, that being the fact, we can quickly and intuitively understand why philosophy does not belong anywhere near an Authentic Jew. All the important questions about life have been explained and answered by Hashem Himself in the Holy Torah. So we already possess the absolute truths about anything and everything that is in anyway important to our existence. So who in their right mind would put these great and absolute ideas aside and go looking for answers using his own juvenile thinking process and intuitions.
Could any disgrace be greater than, after possessing Hashem’s absolute truth, which we received directly from Him, being set aside to go looking for it in Aristotle, Kant, Niche or any other members of this club of lowlifes?
If you ask, weren’t there great Rabbi’s over the generations who indeed studied philosophy, please view upcoming posts regarding the phenomena.
But rest be assured that our generation has nothing to gain and everything to lose by studying the foul smelling opinions or methods of any type of “philosophy”.
