Quick commerce and Indian politics have more in common than you’d think. Both had incumbents who dismissed a disruptive model, then quietly adopted it. Wrote about it on my new blogpost.
"There is a line in #Spanish-#Jewish #philosopher #HasdaiCrescas’s letter to the #Jews of #Avignon, #France, that stops you cold. He is describing the 1391 massacres in #Spain, community by community, chronicling who died and who converted and who escaped.
Then he [...] writes: “Among the many who sanctified the Name of the Lord was my only son, who was a bridegroom and whom I have offered as a faultless lamb for sacrifice. I submit to God’s justice and take comfort in the thought of his excellent portion and his delightful lot.”
That sentence captures something essential about #Crescas. His son was murdered, his community decimated, the #yeshiva where he studied destroyed, the scholars he knew slaughtered. And through it all, he kept #writing #philosophy.
Hasdai Crescas: #CollectedWritings, #edited by #RoslynWeiss and published by The Library of the Jewish People, an imprint of #KorenPublishers Jerusalem [...], brings together all of Crescas’s surviving #writings."
