Abstract

In the 19th century, some Jewish scholars of the Wissenschaft des Judentums movement presented Kabbalah as the vital, spiritual and mystical aspect of Judaism, and juxtaposed it to legalistic, conservative, and petrified Halakha. Jewish neo-romantic and Zionist thinkers adopted this perception, which Christian Kabbalists and Hebraists first formulated in the Renaissance period. The assumption concerning the distinction and tension between Jewish mysticism and Halakha had a significant impact on the modern academic study of Judaism and it still governs the academic discipline of Jewish mysticism that Gershom Scholem and his disciples founded. This article argues that the modern identification of Kabbala as Jewish mysticism, and the assumed dichotomy between spiritual, vital Kabbalah, and dogmatic, petrified Halakha are a modern Jewish adaptation of the Pauline antithesis between the letter that kills and the Spirit that gives life.

“为了文字杀死人，但精神赋予生命”：犹太神秘主义者研究中的哈拉卡与卡巴拉

摘要

在19世纪，一些犹太人在Wissenschaft des Judentums运动中将卡巴拉视为犹太教的重要，精神和神秘方面，并将其与法制，保守和石化的哈拉哈克并置。犹太新浪漫主义和犹太复国主义思想家采用了这种观念，基督教卡巴拉主义者和希伯来主义者是在文艺复兴时期首先提出的。关于犹太神秘主义与哈拉卡之间的区别和张力的假设对犹太教的现代学术研究产生了重大影响，并且仍然支配着Gershom Scholem和他的门徒所建立的犹太神秘主义的学科。本文认为，现代人将卡巴拉视为犹太神秘主义者，并在精神，重要的卡巴拉与教条主义之间假定了二分法，
