Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Modern science believes it has answered the question in the title.For thirty years the cognitive sciences have been describing a god-making machine: a brain that sees intentions everywhere, a memory that keeps the almost-human stories, a mind that lends a purpose to everything. Multiply by the centuries and you get what humanity has in fact produced - spirits, ancestors, pantheons. The case looks closed.This book exists because one detail does not fit, and it is enormous. Look at what the machine manufactures: gods with bodies, with faces, with territory, that can be carved, fed and swayed. Zeus is natural. Ghosts are natural. Yet there is a concept that violates every one of those rules - one God, without body, of whom no image is possible, whom no rite manipulates. Cognitively it is the worst product in the catalog: the one the machine does not make. It is exactly the God of the Torah.Out of that anomaly, an inquiryBook Two of The Investigation, after Who Wrote the Torah , this volume takes the best of the opposing science seriously - and does not hide its weaknesses, including where they serve its own case.- The machine, described at full strength. Hyperactive agency detection, minimally counter-intuitive concepts, theological correctness, promiscuous teleology - the standard model of the field, with the laboratory results that support it and the replications that failed.- The anomaly. The prohibition of images and the reason the text itself gives; the God who cannot be thought; the war on divinatory technique; the Rambam as the first cognitivist; and what the Golden Calf proves in spite of itself.- The comparative test. Every alleged precedent put through the sieve: Akhenaten, Zarathustra, the Greek philosophers, the Near Eastern parallels - four criteria, declared in advance.- Two centuries of suspicion, arraigned one by one. Projection, consolation, the opium of the people, the social totem, the god of the gaps, faith against reason, Euthyphro, 'it is all a late myth' - each stated at its strongest before it is answered.- The fair trial. The book then argues against itself, giving the best naturalistic explanations - Römer's slow purification, the big-gods hypothesis, the learned counter-intuitive - their full weight.The verdict is not a proof, and the author says so in as many words. It is a shift. The skeptic can no longer say: 'one invention among others.' He has to say: 'the most improbable invention in the history of ideas' - and that position has a price.Every argument is carried by an exhibit quoted word for word, with its full reference and its permanent digital identifier. Every chapter closes by stating what it does not prove, before an opponent has to point it out. Four appendices: a chronology of the suspicion and its testing, a who's who, a glossary, and a full bibliography.Also by the author: Who Wrote the Torah - Shmirat HaGuf - Shmirat HaNefesh - Shmirat HaDerech.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Caring for your mind is not a step away from the Torah. It is a step toward it.Shmirat HaNefesh - 'guarding the soul' - brings together three worlds that are too often set against one another: Torah, psychiatry, and neuroscience. It does so with a stated method and without concordism. Medicine describes. Psychology models. Neuroscience gives mechanism. Torah orients. Where these languages meet with rigor, they do not cancel one another; they fall into order.From the words of Chazal to the Rambam, from the architecture of the soul - nefesh, ruach, neshamah, daas - to the most recent findings about the brain, this guide shows that mental health, too, belongs to Avodas Hashem.Inside: - The halachic and hashkafic foundations of caring for the soul - the inner life in Tanach, the Gemara's recognition of psychological suffering, the Rambam on illness of the soul, moral responsibility under psychological constraint, pikuach nefesh extended to the life of the mind, and the contemporary poskim. - A structured account of the soul and of how psychological suffering arises - dysregulation at the level of nefesh, ruach, neshamah, and daas. - The modern fundamentals: the biopsychosocial model, epigenetics, evolutionary mismatch, the architecture of decision, and where free will actually sits. - Five practical pillars - sleep and circadian rhythm, movement, the gut-brain axis and nutrition, psychosocial and environmental hygiene, and the particular cases of alcohol and tobacco in halachah. - The eleven most common psychiatric disorders, their treatments, and what they mean for communal life and for shidduchim. - Fifty common myths about mental health, put to the test.Every scientific reference carries its PubMed identifier or its DOI. Every Jewish source carries its traditional locus. The reader can verify all of it.A work of reference - learned, careful, and readable - for serving Hashem with a clear mind, and for standing beside those who suffer with accuracy and with compassion.Menahem Mendel Sander is the author of Shmirat HaGuf, on the care of the body according to the Torah. Here he continues his inquiry into health placed at the service of spiritual elevation.This book is not a substitute for a qualified clinician or for your Rav.
