Description

The Ramchal prefaces his examination of middot by exploring mankind's purpose in this world. Until we understand why we are here and what we are meant to accomplish, there is no reason to work on ourselves at all. Furthermore, until we know the goal, we cannot know who we need to become in order to get there. Over the course of this chapter the Ramchal presents and disproves prevalent incorrect theories as to the purpose of mankind and then defines mankind's true purpose in this world as God intended.
