Medieval Jewish intellectuals living in Muslim and Christian lands
were strongly concerned to recover what they regarded as a 'lost'
Jewish philosophical tradition. As part of this project they
transmitted and produced many philosophical and scientific works
and commentaries, as well as philosophical commentary on scripture,
in Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew, the principal literary languages of
medieval Jewry. This volume presents new or revised translations of
seven prominent medieval Jewish rationalists: Saadia Gaon, Solomon
ibn Gabirol, Moses Maimonides, Isaac Albalag, Moses of Narbonne,
Levi Gersonides, Hasdai Crescas and Joseph Albo - including, for
the first time in English, the complete Falaquera abridgement of
Gabirol's Source of Life. These works range over topics that are
both theological (e.g. the creation of the world) and philosophical
(e.g. determinism and free choice), but they are characterized by
two overarching principles: the unity of truth, and its
accessibility to human reason.
