[Avodah] Alei Shur: "Mussar is not hashkafa"

[saul mashbaum]

RMB cites RSWolbe
>>
Ra'ayonos are similarly ends-directed, bringing your desired results
with you to the study of the text, but this is about creativity in
Torah study. One has conclusions in mind of how the Torah ought to be,
and works what he learns to fit those preconceived notions.

This is very similar to what I recently wrote here about homiletics. Often , the darshan starts with the conclusion, and searches around for sources for said conclusion.
