Sinopsis

This volume offers a new reading of MaimonidesâÇÖ Guide of the Perplexed. In particular, it explores how MaimonidesâÇÖ commitment to integrity led him to a critique of the KalÄüm, to a complex concept of immortality, and to insight into the human yearning for metaphysical knowledge. MaimonidesâÇÖ search for objective truth is also analyzed in its connection with the scientific writings of his time, which neither the KalÄüm nor the Jewish philosophical tradition that preceded him had endorsed.Through a careful analysis of these issues, this book seeks to contribute to the understanding of the modes of thought adopted ináThe Guide of the Perplexed, including the 'philosophical theologian' model of MaimonidesâÇÖ own design, and to the knowledge of its sources.
