Dual Writing Purpose
- Ramchal intentionally wrote some works as dialogues and others as monologues to present parts and the whole.
- The dialogue reveals competing perspectives while the monologue synthesizes the ultimate truth.
Unity Vs. Segmentation
- Divine unity means all events fit one overarching description, yet human understanding needs segmented 'midos'.
- We study attributes individually to make sense of God's unified actions.
Study Parts Then Synthesize
- Study divine attributes (midos) separately to make complex providence understandable.
- Then step back and integrate those parts to approach the true, unified picture.
