Of Wolves, Men, and Methodology: an Attempt to Capture and Articulate an Epistemological Upheaval

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!In tonight's Topics in Jewish Philosophy shiur (2/18/21 at YBT) I attempted to capture and articulate an epistemological upheaval I recently underwent, triggered by my binge-reading of Barry Lopez's award winning wildlife book "Of Wolves and Men" (1978). As I mention at the outset, I was hesitant to give this shiur because I was skeptical of how much value it would be to those who hadn't accompanied me on the wild journey of reading this book. At best, I would be able to convey the insights I gained in a meaningful way. At worst, I would come across as a lunatic raving about wolves and their connection to our learning of Torah and our practice of Judaism. I'll leave you to be the judge of my success or failure!Please feel free to leave your questions, insights, and feedback in the comments!----------מקורות:"Of Wolves and Men" (1978), by Barry Lopezרלב"ג - הקדמה לתורהספר החינוך - מצוה צ"ה: בנין בית הבחירה ----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
