Our Immoral Soul: A Manifesto of Spiritual Disobedience by Rabbi Nilton Bonde is certainly interesting to read, if not confusing. Rabbi Bonde pulls a Nietzsche-type inversion in these writings: the soul impedes our progress, while the body breaks boundaries and moves us forward. That is an interesting premise, and worthy of exploration. But these essays certainly need to do more to advance this thesis. They are opaque and clumsily worded.
