ABSTRACT

In the earliest Abrahamic scriptures, the writers made clear that God did not want to divulge a personal name he could be called. Despite all the differences among the Abrahamic traditions, one critical point all agree on is the decision that God’s creatures may refer to him and pray to him but not to speak to the God who declares “I am that I am”. It turns out that in the 20th century a Hassidic rebbe figured why that prohibition may be so critical to all cultural traditions of the Abrahamic collection of faiths. In addition, philosophy of language supports the rebbe’s reasoning as does an analogical argument about knowledge inaccessible to simultaneous objectifying. All this sums to the grounds for building a platform for international cooperation with religious understanding as more worthy and less risky than the scheming and greed surrounding economic competition.
