Maimonides Contribution to the Philosophy of Judaism

En savoir plus sur le livre

Maimonides, a pivotal Jewish philosopher, uniquely integrates Aristotelian logic with his own views on creation, revelation, and redemption. In "The Guide of the Perplexed," he challenges the notion of the world's eternity, asserting God as the First Cause who governs the universe with care for humanity. He emphasizes the significance of revelation and Torah as guides toward human perfection. Recognized as a forerunner of the Jewish Enlightenment, Maimonides profoundly influenced normative Judaism while remaining a devout observer of his faith throughout his life.
