The Life of Rabbi Joseph Baer Soloveitchik

Rabbi Joseph Baer Soloveitchik was born February 27, 1903 (synagogue). He was born in Pruszny in Poland. During Rav Soloveitchik (Wikipedia 1), Poland was controlled by the Russian Empire. The ruler of Russia is the emperor. At that time, there were many anti-Semiticisms in Russia (Wikipedia 1). Massacre was done in Russia from 1903 to 1906, in 2000 Jews were killed and more people were injured (Wikipedia 1). There is evidence that the government actually triggered these massacres and the police did nothing to stop them (Wikipedia 1).

The premise of Brooks' idea came from the writer Rabbi · Joseph · B · Soro Vic in 1965. According to Solović, our character has two aspects called Adam 1 and Adam Adam 1 on behalf of our external self, let our version win the higher social status and rank will do. Adam 2 is an inner Adam and wants Brooks to say "quiet and solid feelings of right and wrong - not just to do good, but to do good." "The way of mankind" explores the lives of several historical figures to understand their way to building unique values ​​often overlooked by contemporary society.

The starting point of Brooks was "Lonely Belief" announced by Rabbi Joseph B. Solovik in 1965. He said that there are two aspects of Adam 1 and Adam 2 (Eve did not see it, Brooks was not interested in this, "role" may be a sensitive concept). Resume etc.) Adam 1 hopes to establish, create, create, win, win higher position. Adam 2 has a "derogatory virtue" - warm words made about our coffin enable people to "do good and do good". Adam 2 says, "In order to realize yourself, you must forget yourself, you know you need to lose yourself to find yourself." The two Adams always have conflict

In today's society, this concept is more dangerous. Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik discusses the difference between our two human beings as a human in his book "The Lonley Man of Faith". Adam wants to raise fame and conquer. On the other hand, Adam II hopes to coordinate experience and knowledge with humility and purpose. Adam and Adam II often find each other in conflict. But both sides of our nature work together and can put an end to disharmony.

Early this year, I fell in love with a recent conversation and an interview with David Brooks (a columnist in NYT). I learned the concept of "Adam I" and "Adam II". This is a concept quoted from Rabbi Joseph Solovich's "Lonely Belief" in many conversations of Brooks. In essence, Adam wants success, seeks conquest and challenge, advances the world, explores, pushes the boundaries and builds up a good resume; Adam II expresses herself, wants to connect, friendship, intimacy and Self-condemned self-condemnation, someone other than "self", being homeless, being loved for love, being vulnerable or succumbing to something of a kind. These two Adams are constantly fighting each other because they use mutually opposite logic and cause deep conflict to themselves.
