Présentation de l'éditeur
The essays in the present volume were composed at various times, mostly as lectures. It is difficult for me to say when they originated, as they are the results of life-long pondering on topics which obtruded themselves on my mind, in the same way as they have exercised the minds of many other reasoning men ;and I reproduce here the views to which an anxious and careful reflection has led me. The first essay on the Cabbalists is the only one of the series that has seen the light before. It appeared, under the title of Jewish Mystics an A ppreciation, in 1907, in the October number of the Jewish Quarterly Review. The Prolegomena to a Philosophy of the Jewish Religion are not exhaustive even as prolegomena. Many more questions besides those propounded would require close treatment. For instance, the great subject of Ethnical Psychology, which has such a far-reaching bearing upon the philosophy of the Jewish Religion, is here no more than just hinted at. That subject is, however, incidentally alluded to in the following essay on AU niversal Religion. The views expressed there met with considerable dissension among some of my friends. They would have preferred their own particular persuasion to be the goal for universal adoption. I must, however, abide by the convictions which my own considerations have forced upon me.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This insightful book journeys into the enigmatic realm of Jewish mysticism, shedding light on the tenets of Jewish Cabbalaâ"a complex system of beliefs and practices that emerged in the twelfth century. Historically intertwined with Christian esotericism, the Cabbala elicited harsh criticism from Jewish historians as well as more compassionate interpretations. However, the author contends that the existence of Jewish esoteric thought was not only justified but even necessary during the period in question. The book argues that the Cabbala provided a bridge between dogmatic philosophy and a more empirical science. The author also touches upon the influence the Jewish Cabbala had on Christian mystics and how it paved the way for the rise of science in Europe. Ultimately, the book emphasizes the importance of understanding Jewish mysticism within its historical context, allowing us to appreciate its unique role in Judaism and its broader impact on Western intellectual history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
