Alienated Wisdom

"Alienated Wisdom" is an in-depth investigation that addresses epistemological questions, particularly the definition of Jewish thought. The study begins with the historical relationship between Jewish culture and Greek, Greco-Roman, and Christian philosophy. It highlights the development of the concept of Jewish philosophy and its connection to political, moral, and scientific principles. A central theme is the emergence of philosophia perennis and prisca theologia, which are discussed in Christian contexts. The investigation concludes with a thorough examination of Jewish skepticism, understood as a dialectical exploration, which is also reflected in the etymology of the Greek term "skepsis." This comprehensive analysis offers valuable insights into the genealogy of wisdom and knowledge within Jewish thought.
