Being and Nonbeing: The Structure of the Absolute Transcendent, a Kabbalistic Perspective
This article examines the Kabbalistic view of God (the Absolute) as a dynamic interplay between Nonbeing (Ein Sof, the infinite abyss) and Being (the Sefirot, divine attributes). Using René Guénon’s metaphysics and Emmanuel Lévinas’s ethics, it argues this structure isn’t just abstract. Instead, the transcendent is experienced immanently through the ethical responsibility to other people. The divine is ultimately found in our ethical encounters.
