It examines the Renaissance belief that Love should know more than Wisdom, which is something Abrabanel taught. The ultimate mystical union with God for Abrabanel is beneficence towards one's fellow human beings. His view is that love is the affirmation of both God and human individual experience. Knowledge of man and God are both dependent upon the experience of love UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=492196 ER -
