A paradox is the combination of the incompatible.
For example, finite and infinite.
This is the subject of this book.
The premise is that the Jew lives with God and conducts a dialogue with Him, which in itself requires paradoxical thinking, otherwise how the finite will be able to communicate with the Infinite.
Or, let's say, an infinite soul fits into a body limited by space and time limits.
Well, could it be?
"Theory of the Paradox" is a commentary on the first book of the Torah -Bereshit ("In the Beginning").
But the goal is not to consider all the details, but to find what "can't be."
And to analyze how this "cannot be" found a place in our lives.
In the spiritual world there are no contradictions and there is no unity and struggle of opposites.
There is unity, but there is no struggle of opposites. And this is due to the fact that at the level of the spiritual world the common root of everything that exists is manifested, unity is created, eliminating contradictions.
Water does not extinguish fire, and fire does not evaporate water.
Sometimes the spiritual world breaks into the material world. Then the bush burns and does not burn out, and the rule of Archimedes is canceled, because no one displaces anyone, but exists there at the same time.
Ordinary logic assumes that the part cannot contain the whole.
But the sages of the Talmud knew that there is a drop that can contain the ocean.
Doesn't the grain contain the tree?
The task of this book is to look at the text of the Torah and commentaries on it in such a way that, abandoning the limitations of everyday thinking, reveal the spiritual layer of the narrative.
No, not to discard logic, but to build a new logic inherent in those who constantly have to correlate with the infinite in their lives.
