What is this book 5 When I stop to ask - I cease to be 11 Shall find our way, and examine his 16 The philosophical question and savvy 19 "For our faith is to live"? 22 Question 26 Trap! 31 The fateful wager 39 Hey, world! There you have a father? 43 Mystery, prisoners in a man 68 What is the purpose? 78 Meaning, show yourself! 81 Meaning, where dwellest thou? 84 A fragment from the book:
Everyone has their own truth. " But, on the other hand, no one can say that "his truth" is that the moon - not a heavenly body, and banana, and that the water in the light of "his truth" is not wet, etc.
Thus, no one can deny that there are concepts in relation to which it is impossible to use the rule "everyone has their own truth." And as we found at least one thing about which this rule does not apply, we can not say a priori about any issue we are concepts that everyone has their own truth. Because first we have to figure out (and first of all to find how to find out), to which one of these two areas is the issue under discussion. And if so - how did you get that with respect to the major issues that we are going to discuss the rule applies "everyone has their own truth"?
Make it a rule: because no one has proved that in these matters is not the absolute truth obliges everyone - at a time when there will be found a logical and binding answer to your question - you can not hide behind the so inept and primitive fig leaf, as the aforementioned philosophy.
In fact, because what we do is not purely philosophical issues, and issues relating to a particular reality (for example, "Is There a Creator of the world?"), It is clear that the statement "everyone has their own truth" is meaningless. After all, it is clear that regardless of the point of view of the world is created by only one particular way.
Researcher: Yes, but I asked one more question: is it possible at all to discuss these problems with the help of the mind? After all, everyone knows that their decision depends on blind faith? Rav: First of all, we have to unlearn the habit of taking for granted the crowd outlook, outlook of an "all talk" or "everyone knows that ...". In many cases, such that "everyone knows" does not reflect reality. Our case can serve as a wonderful example of the differences between the "conventional wisdom" and reality. Like you said, "everyone knows" that the truth of Judaism can not be proven logically ... While exactly the opposite is true: Judaism is not based only on faith and, of course, not on blind faith. It is possible to know, and we have to know the basics of Judaism - are true. After all, the Torah itself says: "Know today and put it on your heart that Hashem is Gd in heaven and on the earth below the top, no more." It may be a surprise for someone whose knowledge of Judaism is based on the sketchy chaotic information received is unknown how. Judaism - not blind faith! Possible to know the truth of the principles of Judaism! That's what I meant when I said that we will be able to base our discussion of pure reason.
Researcher: You are well explained. Let's get back to the starting point of our discussion. You said that we will have to send a logic, and that only a pure mind will lead us, and judge between us. I'd like to know how you fulfill your promises. You took on the very far-reaching commitment, which usually takes no religion.
