Rambam's Shitah on Hashgachah Revisited (Part 3)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!This evening (12/31/21), in our Thursday night hashkafah shiur (which is usually not recorded), we continued our multi-part series on the Rambam's shitah about hashgachah, using David Guttman's essay "Divine Providence - Goals, Hopes, and Fears, כי כל דרכיו משפט" as our guide. Tonight we focused on the difficult and abstract concepts of matter and form. First I gave my own overview, which showcased the presentation given by Leon Kass in his book, "The Hungry Soul: Eating and the Perfecting of Our Nature." We then read Guttman's overview, which we didn't even come close to finishing. We'll continue next week (בג"ה).----------Link to David Guttman's essay, "Divine Providence - Goals, Hopes, and Fears, כי כל דרכיו משפט"----------This week's Torah content has been sponsored by Albert Hanan and Justin Coskey in honor of Aryel and Batya's wedding.----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
