Abstract
This article is another part of the series focused on the life and works of Rabbi Moshe Hayim Luzzatto (1707-1746; he has been known under the acronym RaMHaL), one of the greatest Jewish thinkers. This section provides a translation of the Introduction (focused on knowledge, its organisation, reason, logic and their boundaries) from Luzzatto's religious philosophical treatise Derekh Ha-Shem (i.e.
The Way of The Lord; usually translated as: The Way of God). The author of the translation attempts to clarify RaMHaL's way of thinking (via the commentary and the system of comprehensive and detailed footnotes, which takes into account the religious, philosophic and historic context of Rabbi Moshe Hayim Luzzatto's specific approach).
