Mysticism and Modern Man: Isaac Bashevis Singer (1975)

Jewish-American novelist, short-story writer, and playwright Isaac Bashevis Singer speaks about the relationship of mysticism and modernism. This lecture was organized in collaboration with the American Committee for the Institute of Psychotherapy at Tel Aviv University. Singer frames his lecture around his personal perception of God, religion, and mysticism. He characterizes the idea of God as both an artist and a scientist–a figure that is “dynamic, creative” and “possessed of boundless imagination and infinite wisdom.” Singer contrasts this characterization with the naturalistic philosophy of Baruch Spinoza. The lecture is followed by questions from the audience and a reading of Singer’s story, “Shiddah and Kuziba.” Recorded Nov 19, 1975 at the 92nd Street Y, New York.
