In this episode we take a closer look at one of Spinoza's most fundamental mistakes. Spinoza criticized Tanach because he wasn't able to apply Euclidean style logic to the narrative of Tanach. This however is a deep philosophical error. There is an area of Tanach that has mathematical style rules. However most of Tanach and drashos Chazal use a different form of logic. Why is this true? What can we learn about the way the Torah sees the world from this phenomenon?
