>>23622643DESU, I find the total commitment to the via negativa to be a big step backwards from the analogical prediction of Plotinus or the Christian Neoplatonists.
Reading rabbinical commentary over the centuries is surreal, they seem so lucid and intellectual. It's like a very old, very long forum thread full of back and forth arguments.They seem out of time, or timeless, like an insular community of intellectuals that has endured the rise and fall of nations. They carried literacy through the eons, long before my ancestors even received civilization.The intellectual tradition is sincerely fascinating and impressive, especially in how long it has endured, to say nothing of the substance itself as an outside observer. Can't help but relate with these bookish men of faith.
