DAVID BIRNBAUM SUMMA METAPHYSICA
DAVID BIRNBAUM PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE
Author’s editorial comment / perspective on the classic and historic ‘dispute’ between Lurianism and Hasidism on the subject:
As the gemorah might say,
“Eylu v-aylu divre’ Elokim Chayim”
i.e. Both (exegesis) positions stand valid
side-by-side eternally
and, indeed, in this case,
both philosophical propositions:
The Lurianic*** [The universe as EMANATION from God] –
and the Hasidic position
[The universe as MANIFESTATION of God]
Both tether different (intertwined) aspects of the proposed Quest for Potential∞ paradigm.

*** Lurianic is a thrust of Kabbalistic
