Synopsis
Space and Thought in Medieval Jewish Philosophy explores how Jewish thinkers from Saadya to Crescas debated empirical versus absolute space.
It shows how early medieval ideas joined observational space with Aristotelian theory, and how Crescas ultimately challenged that view. This edition traces the evolution of space concepts in Jewish philosophy, highlighting key debates, definitions, and the shifting balance between perception, abstraction, and metaphysical claims. It explains why early thinkers rejected absolute space while engaging with Aristotle’s framework, and it details Crescas’s influential critique and its impact on later figures.
- How empirical space is defined by perception and measurement
- Why Aristotelian space was influential in medieval Jewish thought
- How Crescas argued for the objective reality of absolute space
- The progression of ideas through figures like Saadya, Maimonides, Ibn Daud, and Gersonides

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of space as it was debated by Jewish philosophers during the Middle Ages. The author delves into the complex and often contradictory ideas surrounding the nature of space, examining the views of influential thinkers like Saadya, Ibn Gabirol, Judah Halevi, and Joseph ibn Zaddik. The book examines how these thinkers grappled with the fundamental question of whether space is an independent entity or merely a product of our perception, drawing upon the philosophical legacies of Plato and Aristotle. The author carefully analyzes their arguments regarding the relationship between space and matter, the nature of spirit, and the perplexing notion of divine omnipresence. The book illuminates the rich and nuanced philosophical landscape of Jewish thought in the Middle Ages, revealing the profound and enduring insights these thinkers contributed to the ongoing dialogue about the nature of reality itself.
