Hassidic Idealism: Responding to Problems
The previous chapter suggests that a radical idealism follows from the most basic tenets of Judaism. This chapter responds to various problems that arise from that idealism: does it allow for free will; does it rob us of ontological significance; does it exacerbate the problem of evil; and does it allow for true contradictions? All of these questions are answered with the use of various philosophical tools developed in the philosophy of fiction.
