Realism of the Wisdom of Kabbalah as a Science
Typically, science focuses on two aspects of reality – the first one is known as knowledge of matter, the other one refers to the understanding of form. This implies that our surrounding reality is truly interconnected with the determination of matter and form. Let us consider an example of a plastic chair. It comprises of matter, here it is plastic. It holds the form of a chair. Matter (plastic) ensues to be a hauler of a form (chair). The same attribute is true for the term ‘honest’, its matter can be a man who holds the form of ‘honest’. So it is said that the matter known as man puts up with the form of honesty.
This insight puts emphasis on the distribution of science that study reality in two constituents – the study of matter and the study of form. The constituent of science that deals with matter studies matter as it exists in reality. Science offers empirical support in order to provide the reliable conclusion as a result of practical experimentations.
The other constituent, however, deals with the form and is purely abstract in nature, when separated from matter itself. When one understands the significance and non-significance in the form detached from the matter, it is implied that the one is in pure state of understanding, not covered with any dogmatic view of matter. This is known as figurative learning. Quite obviously, these learning systems do not offer any empirical research evidences. It is mainly due to the fact that the expressions derived from the understanding of the abstract form are not confirmed by experiments in practice. These expressions exist beyond the realistic frame. It can only be attained through the imaginary elements. This implies that one can accomplish the understanding of form by using imaginary elements as it exists beyond the physical frame of reality.
Hence, the actual understanding of form can not be accomplished using the conventional mode of science; however, it belongs to the study of science as one of the two divisions. It is beyond understanding in the realistic perspective because it lacks the conventional mode of analysis, research and practical experiments. This is the point where philosophy enters. There are a wide range of scholars articulate their dissatisfaction while demonstrating the phenomena on the basis of pure and conventional mode of science and most of them largely depend on the philosophical attributes of understanding.
The Wisdom of Kabbalah essentially focuses on this aspect. It incorporates the study of matter in association of the study of form. According to Kabbalistic perspective, the Wisdom of Kabbalah includes the study of form on the basis of critique derived from practical understanding, implication and experimentation.
