Does G-d exist? What is G-d's role in the world? What is man's role in the world? Do we have free will? These, and many other questions, have been raised by Jewish scholars, philosophers, and everyday people for thousands of years. Unfortunately, many of these questions have not been fully answered. Often times, the question is more interesting than the answer.
Some Jewish philosophers such as Maimonides (also known as Rambam) have attempted to answer such questions using logical treatises. Other philosophers such as Nachmaides (also known as Ramban) have attempted to answer such questions using mystical treatises. Still other Jewish philosophers such as Martin Buber attempted to answer these types of questions from a logical, modern perspective. |
