In his groundbreaking new book, Mystics, Moderns, and the Science of Jewish Thinking, Dr. David Ellenson explores the fascinating intersection of Jewish mysticism, modernity, and science.
Ellenson argues that Jewish mysticism is not simply a relic of the past, but a vibrant and dynamic force that continues to shape Jewish thought and practice today. He shows how mystics and modern thinkers have grappled with the same fundamental questions about God, the world, and human existence.
Ellenson also explores the ways in which science has influenced Jewish mysticism. He shows how scientific discoveries have led to new insights into the nature of reality and the human mind.
Mystics, Moderns, and the Science of Jewish Thinking is a thought-provoking and original work that sheds new light on the nature of Jewish thought and its relationship to modernity and science.
Mysticism and Modernity
Mysticism is often associated with the past. It is seen as a relic of a bygone era, when people believed in magic and superstition. However, Ellenson argues that mysticism is alive and well in the modern world.
He points to the popularity of meditation and mindfulness practices, which are based on mystical principles. He also notes the growing interest in Jewish mysticism among scholars and laypeople alike.
Ellenson argues that mysticism is not incompatible with modernity. In fact, he believes that mysticism can help us to understand the challenges and opportunities of our time.
Mysticism offers a way to connect with the transcendent, to experience the unity of all things, and to find meaning and purpose in life. These are all essential insights for living in a complex and rapidly changing world.
Science and Jewish Mysticism
Science is often seen as the opposite of mysticism. Science is based on reason and observation, while mysticism is based on intuition and experience.
However, Ellenson argues that science and mysticism are not incompatible. In fact, he believes that they can be mutually enriching.
Science can help us to understand the natural world, while mysticism can help us to understand the spiritual world. Together, science and mysticism can give us a more complete picture of reality.
Ellenson points to the work of scientists like Albert Einstein and Werner Heisenberg, who were both influenced by mysticism. He also notes the growing interest in the science of consciousness, which is exploring the relationship between the mind and the brain.
Ellenson argues that the science of Jewish mysticism is a new and exciting field of study. It has the potential to deepen our understanding of both Judaism and the human mind.
Mystics, Moderns, and the Science of Jewish Thinking is a groundbreaking work that sheds new light on the nature of Jewish thought and its relationship to modernity and science. Ellenson argues that mysticism is not simply a relic of the past, but a vibrant and dynamic force that continues to shape Jewish thought and practice today.
He also shows how science has influenced Jewish mysticism and how the two can be mutually enriching. Ellenson's work is a must-read for anyone interested in Jewish thought, mysticism, or the science of consciousness.
