But before I could reject
empiricism and or rationalism, I needed to spend plenty of time going as deep
as I could into both approaches and to see if there were any flaws. Well, to
some degree with Spinoza it was easy to see the flaws, since some were obvious
and some were pointed out by later philosophers. Leibniz was more difficult to
deal with. There are no flaws but it just does not click.
The problems with John Locke are the same flaws that are a part of any of the empirical schools like Hume. Obviously I was going to need some kind of Kantian approach --- or Hegel. Later I learned about the intuitionist school of thought. There is something good to be learned from all these schools of thought.
But my conclusion is that learning Torah, Gemara, Rashi and Tosphot has universal objective value for all human beings. I have to conclude that learning Torah and private conversation with God are better than democracy and capitalism and communism and pretty much beat every other proposed solution
But back to my original questions. This is complex. There are reasons to think that this question is complex.
First question "Test". Are you worthy of learning Torah? Perhaps some person has joined some cult that tries to turn people to a evil path and by that has come into the category of those that are not allowed to repent and are prevented from repenting from Heaven.
