As a whole, science is divided into two parts: one is called \u201cmaterial research,\u201d and the other, \u201cformative research.\u201d This means that matter and form are perceived in every element of the entire reality before us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, a table consists of matter, meaning the wood, and consists of form, the shape of a table. The matter, being the wood, is the carrier of the form, which is the table. Also, in the word \u201cliar,\u201d there is matter, which is a person, and there is a form, which is the lie. The matter, which is the person, carries the form of a lie, meaning the custom of telling lies. So it is in everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hence, science, too, which researches the elements of reality, is divided into two parts: material research and formative research. The part of science that studies the quality of the substances in reality, both materials without their form and materials along with their forms, is called \u201cmaterial research.\u201d This research is empirical, based on evidence and deductions derived from practical experimentation, and these practical experimentations are treated as a sound basis for valid conclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other part of science studies only forms abstracted from materials, without any contact with the substances themselves. In other words, they shed the forms of true and false from the materials, which are the people who carry them, and engage only in research to know such values of superiority and inferiority in these forms of truth and falsehood as they are for themselves, bare, as though they were never clothed in any matter. This is called \u201cformative research.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This research is not based on practical experiments, for such abstract forms do not appear in practical experiments, as they do not exist in the actual reality since such an abstract form is imaginary, meaning only the imagination can picture it although it does not exist in the actual reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hence, any scientific research of this kind is necessarily based solely on a theoretical basis. This means that it is not taken from practical experimentation but only from a research of theoretical negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All the high philosophy belongs to this kind; hence, many contemporary intellectuals have left it since they are displeased with any research built on a theoretical basis. They believe it is not a sound basis, for they consider only the experimental basis as sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The wisdom of Kabbalah, too, is divided into these two parts: \u201cmaterial research\u201d and \u201cformative research.\u201d But here there is a great advantage over secular sciences: Here, even the part of formative research is built entirely on the critique of practical reason, meaning on a practical, empirical basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
