Books of Philosophy

  • The books of the philosophers lack real depth and have no complete intelligence in there at all, as opposed to a teaching of the Maharsha, Maharam and our other holy books, which have depth and wondrous, sweet knowledge in them.[1]
    • Philosophy books speak in the way of questions, back and forth until they come to some proof and the intelligence found in our holy Torah, is not there at all.[1]


Damage of Philosophy

  • Every human is born with wickedness, and naturally follows it and his evil desires. Only due to 'fear of punishment' one breaks his desires and starts serving Hashem.[1]
    • When one learns the books of philosophy - doubt and atheism enter his heart, aiding his natural wickedness.[1]
  • We did not find anyone that was made righteous and G-D fearing through philosophy books.[1]
    • Although they discuss things like good traits; it is all emptiness and their loss is greater than their gain, since they greatly confuse a person's mind.[1]

Everyone Philosophizes

  • Although it appears that most people are far from philosophy, in truth they are all entangled in philosophical delving.[2]
    • Each person including the minor ones have philosophical calculations and philosophical confusions enter their minds.[2]

Distance from Philosophy

  • One must distance and totally remove philosophy from his heart and not be a philosopher at all. Rather he should have faith in Hashem and the Tzadikim with out any calculations at all.[2]
