Kotzk Podcast 069: Neoplatonic echoes in Chassidic Mysticism
Update: 2025-11-08
Description
This episode explores the intellectual legacy of Abu Ya'qub Isḥāq ibn Sulaymān al-Israeli—also known as Yitzchak ben Shlomo haYisraeli (c.855–c.955)—a pioneering yet largely overlooked figure in early Medieval Jewish philosophy. Through a counterintuitive comparison between Yitzchak haYisraeli’s tenth-century philosophical writings and contemporary *Chassidic* thought rooted in *Kabbalah*, the study reveals an unexpected conceptual convergence between the two thought systems.
