Does anyone know what "Hebrew culture" means?

Hebrew culture as a whole is a culture created by the Hebrews. The definition of Hebrew culture has a great influence on medieval Europe and even today. Matthew arnold pointed out a century ago: "Hebrew culture and Greek culture-our world is moving between these two poles." He defined the essence of Greek culture as "seeing things as people" and the essence of Hebrew culture as "conduct and obedience". The thirst for truth, clear mind, keen insight and profound judgment-this is Greek culture. Hebrew spirit pursues justice, demands moral perfection, and insists on the code of conduct. There may be conflicts between them, and the most serious one is the condemnation of the wild thoughts and emotions of Renaissance humanists after the rise of Protestantism in16th century.

Regional Hebrew culture does not contain eternal essential field, which Plato created in Greek philosophy in order to get rid of the evil of time by relying on reason. [5] This realm of eternal essence is only possible for transcendental wise men. Such a person, in Plato's words, is "an observer of all existence in all times." This concept that philosophers are regarded as the highest type of people-wise men who can observe all times and exist in an eternal superior position-is completely strange to the concept of people with faith in Jewish culture. People with faith enthusiastically devote themselves to their mortal existence. For the Hebrews, detachment is an impermissible psychological state, a bad habit, not a virtue; In other words, the transcendental thing is beyond the imagination of biblical characters, because he has not yet reached the abstract level of Greek reason. His existence is subject to the earth, full of repressed mortal images, and he can't understand the detachment of philosophers. As a spiritual entity, the soul can be eternal (and this eternity can be proved rationally). This concept has never appeared in people's hearts in the Bible. If he ever wanted to escape from death, this hope was based on personal trust, and his God might make him rise from the dust again.
