Emunot V'Deot: The First Book of Jewish Philosophy with Rabbi Daniel Korobkin: 4:6 – Eight Scriptural Challenges to Free Will
About this episode
Rabbi Daniel Korobkin explores Rabbi Saadia Gaon's foundational work in Jewish philosophy, Emunot V'Deot, and its implications on the concept of free will.
Rabbi Saadia Gaon’s sefer Emunot V’Deot (Book of Beliefs and Opinions) innovated the genre of Jewish philosophy. Long before Rabbi Yehuda HaLevi and the Rambam, R. Saadia paved the road for viewing Jewish principles through a lens of classic Greek philosophy, the science of his time, and is justifiably where Jewish philosophy begins. Join Rabbi Daniel Korobkin as he explores this important, monumental work, tracing the differences in approach between R. Saadia and those who came after him.
