Too often the study of philosophical texts is carried out in ways
that do not pay significant attention to how the ideas contained
within them are presented, articulated, and developed. This was not
always the case. The contributors to this collected work consider
Jewish philosophy in the medieval period, when new genres and forms
of written expression were flourishing in the wake of renewed
interest in ancient philosophy. Many medieval Jewish philosophers
were highly accomplished poets, for example, and made conscious
efforts to write in a poetic style. This volume turns attention to
the connections that medieval Jewish thinkers made between the
literary, the exegetical, the philosophical, and the mystical to
shed light on the creativity and diversity of medieval thought. As
they broaden the scope of what counts as medieval Jewish
philosophy, the essays collected here consider questions about how
an argument is formed, how text is put into the service of
philosophy, and the social and intellectual environment in which
philosophical texts were produced.
