The Italian rabbi and philosopher Elijah Benamozegh (1823–1900) engaged widely with non-Jewish European culture, especially with regard to theology, philosophy and science. With respect to evolutionary theory, his views went through three stages. These stages correspond to his engagement with ideas of transmutation in three key works, namely, the Hebrew biblical commentary ʾEm la-miqra⁠ʾ (1862–1865), the Italian theological treatise Teologia dogmatica e apologetica (1877), and his posthumous great work in French, Israel et l’humanite (1914). Over time, Benamozegh came to view Darwin’s account of the common descent of all life as evidence in support of kabbalistic teachings, which he synthesized to offer a majestic vision of cosmic evolution, with radical implications for understanding the development of morality and religion itself. In the context of the creation-evolution debate in Europe, Benamozegh’s significance is as the earliest Orthodox Jewish proponent of a panentheistic account of evolution.

Elijah Benamozegh 和进化论:十九世纪意大利卡巴拉学家对达尔文的泛神论反应

意大利拉比和哲学家 Elijah Benamozegh (1823–1900) 广泛参与非犹太欧洲文化,特别是在神学、哲学和科学方面。关于进化论,他的观点经历了三个阶段。这些阶段对应于他在三部关键著作中对嬗变思想的参与,即希伯来圣经评论 ʾEm la-miqra⁠ʾ(1862-1865)、意大利神学论文 Teologia dogmatica e apologetica(1877),以及他死后的伟大著作在法语,以色列和人道 (1914)。随着时间的推移,贝纳莫泽开始将达尔文对所有生命共同下降的描述视为支持卡巴拉教义的证据,他综合这些教义以提供宇宙进化的宏伟愿景,对理解道德和宗教本身的发展具有根本性的影响。
