  Kids.Net.Au - Encyclopedia > Mordecai Kaplan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Rabbi Mordechai Menahem Kaplan (June 11, 1881- November 8, 1983) was ordained as a rabbi at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America (JTS), in New York, in 1902.
Due to Kaplan's evolving position on Jewish theology, he was later condemned as a heretic by Young Israel and the rest of Orthodox Judaism, and his name is no longer mentioned in official publications as being one of the movement's founders.
Kaplan's theology went beyond this to claim that God is the sum of all natural processes that allow man to become self-fulfilled.

Kaplan was profoundly influenced by the new social science of sociology and recent progress in the physical sciences.
Kaplan continued to study and teach throughout his life until his death in 1983 at the age of 102.
Kaplan did not understand God as a supernatural force in the universe, but rather as the power which makes possible personal salvation, which Kaplan understand as the "worthwhileness of life."

 The Bulletin Archive 27>   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Mordecai Kaplan (1881-1983), the great religious thinker and founder of the Reconstructionist movement in Judaism, was born in Lithuania.
In his book Judaism as a Civilization (1934), Kaplan describes the Jewish religion as an "evolving civilization." He asserted that in each civilization in which the Jew participates, in order to partake of the land, polity and culture of that civilization, he must make radical adjustments in his social theory and polity.
Rabbi Kaplan perceived that the "religious" nature of Judaism could be seen through this unique concept of "civilization." He believed that Jewish civilization expressed its genius by clarifying the purposes and values of human existence, in wrestling with God, and in the ritual of the home, synagogue, and community.

 Le plan retrouvé. Les Pensées de Pascal classées par Francis Kaplan, par François Bremondy (Site Francis Kaplan)
Mais Kaplan publie la photographie du manuscrit, et fait remarquer les traits horizontaux qui séparent les paragraphes qu'il a dissociés (cf.1982 p.93) C'est Pascal lui-même qui a séparé ces pensées que des éditeurs réunissent encore.
Kaplan montre que, pour Pascal, ce sont toutes les preuves rationnelles qui sont insuffisantes : « Il y a deux manières de prouver les vérités de notre religion — l'une par la force de la raison, l'autre par la force de celui qui parle.
Kaplan explique cette ignorance, ou du moins cette méconnaissance, par le désordre dans lequel les éditions présentent les pensées qui exposent ces preuves : « Cette démonstration est impossible à saisir si on se contente comme le fait l'édition de Lafuma par exemple, de reproduire le désordre des manuscrits.
