Nefesh HaChaim. Second Edition. Vilna 1837
Classic Sefer by R. Chaim of Volozhin presenting a clear and orderly theological view of man and his purpose in the world. Based primarily on the teachings of the Gaon, and drawing on many Kabbalistic sources, it addresses many of the same issues as the Chasidic Seforim of that era. The portion most oft studied and quoted is Sha’ar Daled (section 4), which is a complete exegesis on the concept of Torah Lishmah, emphasizing its intellectual aspects, as opposed to the Chassidic emphasis on deveikus. This was written to clarify the outlook of the Vilna Gaon in response to Chassidus. Received with great acclaim by the scholars of the Lithuanian Torah community, it has been reprinted many times and remains a classic work studied in many Yeshivos.
