Description

An analysis of the Gemara Shabbat 75a and the obligation to engage in scientific inquiry, as well as an attempt to understand the source of scientific knowledge as being part of revelation and the Mesora (i.e. in Hachodesh Hazeh Lachem) or as human wisdom, with ramifications for conflcts that are encountered between the views of Chazal and the views of science.
