Note

ספר מדע

Introd: Each of 14 books is introduced w. a verse which contains capsule summary of אחד. The ספר מדע – by verse Psalms משוך חסדך ליודעך וצדקתך לישרי לב. צדק = justice; חסד = love, i.e. givingness, where object of love is not neccesarily deserving. ישרי לב is a behavioral category and hence properly the object of צדקתך. יודעך transcends conduct, and includes both cognition and affect; hence the יודע is worth – albeit undeserving – of חסד. In this concept-word of יודעך, lies hint to all ספר מדע
