The coincidentia oppositorum expresses a wish to recover the lost unity of the mythical Paradise, for it presents a reconciliation of opposites and the unification of diversity: > On the level of pre-systematic thought, the mystery of totality embodies > man's endeavor to reach a perspective in which the contraries are abolished, > the Spirit of Evil reveals itself as a stimulant of Good, and Demons appear > as the night aspect of the Gods.

His Talmudic lectures were attended by throngs of disciples, many of whom came from distant places. Questions in great number, dealing with ritual, with the most varied topics of the Halakah, and with religious philosophy, were addressed to him from Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, and even from Asia Minor. His responsa show evidence of wide reading, keen intelligence, and systematic thought. They also afford a clear insight into the communal life of the time, portraying Aderet's contemporaries, and are of value for the study not only of rabbinical procedure but also of the intellectual development of the age in which he lived.

Jungian authors have likened the mania and depression of bipolar disorder to the Jungian archetypes 'puer' and 'senex'. The puer archetype is defined by the behaviors of spontaneity, impulsiveness, enthusiasm or mania and is symbolized by characters such as Peter Pan or the Greek god Hermes. The senex archetype is defined by behaviors of order, systematic thought, caution, and depression and is symbolized by characters such as the Roman god Saturn or the Greek god Kronos. Jungians conceptualize the puer and senex as a coexistent bipolarity appearing in human behavior and imagination, but in neurotic manifestations appears as extreme oscillations and as unipolar manifestations.

The book had strong echoes which reversed the traditional outlook. Today there is even talk of Kant's "historical turn", a concept unheard of in the past). A noted German philosopher, director of the Institut für Sozialforschung (Institute for Social Research, the institutional home of the Frankfurt School and critical theory) recently described the book's impact: > "When I first read Yirmiyahu Yovel's marvelous book on Kant and the > Philosophy of History almost twenty years ago, I learned how one should > approach the task of interpreting classical texts: Starting from the > identification of a central problem in a philosopher`s writings, one must > try rearrange the elements of the proposed solution until a new idea emerges > that goes beyond the original author's explicit intentions. Because I was > extremely impressed by this method the way it was applied to Kant's > systematic thought, I not only became a regular and eager reader of > Yirmiyahu Yovel's publications, but I also tried to emulate this mode of > thinking in my own work" (—Axel Honneth, 2010).
