Description

What is the nature of the study of Torah in the world view of the Ish Halacha? Is the primary focus and goal the study of Torah as a theoretical and analytic body of Hashem's Wisdom and Will; or the practical application of Torah knowledge to the real and concrete empirical world? Were the Torah giants throughout the generations interested in Psak Halacha, or they shy away from HoRa'ah in favor of creating abstract a priori constructs?
