Paradox is a characteristic of truth. What communis opinio has of truth is surely of no more than an elementary deposit of generalizing partial understanding, related to truth even as sulpurous fumes are to lightning. I am a German born Jewish philosopher.To say that I teach Kabbalah and mysticism from a scientific point of view, is to not say much at all. Some books I have written include: Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism (1941), Jewish Gnosticism, Merkabah Mysticism, and the Talmudic Tradition (1960) Sabbatai Zevi, the Mystical Messiah (1973)and On the Mystical Shape of the Godhead (1997)
My Interests
I'd like to meet:
Martin Buber so I can tell him that I disagree with him. And Cynthia Ozick so I can thank her for her lovely review of "Sabbatai Sevi"...
