The Obligations of the Heart (by Rav Behaye ibn Pakuda) says the Torah is an introduction to the commandments of Reason. That gives me a lot to think about. He explains commandments of the Torah have a limit. Commandments of Reason have no limit. [שער עבודת האלוהים פרק ג]
[This actually reminds me of Michael Huemer's idea that reason recognizes objective moral principles. ]
It also has a connection with Kierkegaard's idea that the Torah has in fact things that are hard to understand. But what is clear and unambiguous one must do immediately.
[I am in a house where there is this book Obligations of the Heart and I am astounded at how many fascinating ideas are in it.]
