Synopsis

This book delves into the complex relationship between faith and reason, exploring the challenges faced by Jewish thinkers in medieval Spain. The author, a prominent scholar and physician of his time, provides insightful commentary on the Torah, the Talmud, and the writings of the ancient philosophers. His work is particularly significant as it was written during a period of great upheaval and persecution, when Jews were forced to confront the pressures of religious intolerance. The author himself experienced exile and the threat of forced conversion, highlighting the real-world implications of the book's philosophical arguments. Through his careful analysis of Scripture and philosophical texts, the author attempts to bridge the gap between faith and reason, offering a framework for understanding the complexities of divine revelation and human intellect. Ultimately, this book presents a powerful testament to the enduring search for truth and meaning within the Jewish tradition.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Guide for the Perplexed

The first Edition of the English Translation of Maimonides' Dalalat al-Hairin being exhausted without having fully supplied the demand, I prepared a second, revised edition of the Translation. In the new edition the three volumes of the first edition have been reduced to one volume by the elimination of the notes; besides Hebrew words and phrases have been eliminated or transliterated. By these changes the translator sought to produce a cheap edition in order to bring the work of Maimonides within the reach of all students of Theology and Jewish Literature.
