RABBI MOSHE HAYIM LUZZATTO: THE WAY OF THE LORD - CHAPTER TWO - PURPOSE OF CREATION

Publication at Hussite Theological Faculty |
2021

Abstract

This article is another part of the series focused on the life and works of one of the greatest Jewish thinkers, Rabbi Moshe Hayim Luzzatto (1707-1746; also known as RaMHaL). This part brings the translation of Chapter Two (focused on God's perfection, the purpose of creation and the human's task in creation) from Luzzatto's religious philosophical treatise Derekh Ha-Shem (i.e.

The Way of The Lord; usually translated as: The Way of God). The author of the translation tries to clarify RaMHaL's way of thinking (via the commentary as well as system of comprehensive and detailed footnotes which take into account the religious, philosophic and historic context of Rabbi Moshe Hayim Luzzatto's specific approach).
