#104 - Rationalism, Spinoza & Einstein

Spinoza and modern philosophy claims to be rational. How do we define rationalism from a Torah perspective? What was the Rambam’s approach to this issue?   Einstein quite explicitly said that he was influenced by Spinoza.  Is there any significant difference between Einstein’s cultural milieu and Spinoza’s? We take a quick look at Einstein’s life to properly understand this.  Nach Yomi: Join R' Wittenstein’s Nach Yomi on WhatsApp. We learn a perek a day five days a week, with a nine minute shiur covering the key issues.
