Moses Maimonides' Guide of the Perplexed (c. 1190) is the greatest
and most influential text in the history of Jewish philosophy.
Controversial in its day, the Guide directly influenced Aquinas,
Spinoza, and Leibniz, and the history of Jewish philosophy took a
decisive turn after its appearance. While there continues to be
keen interest in Maimonides and his philosophy, this is the first
scholarly collection in English devoted specifically to the Guide.
It includes contributions from an international team of scholars
addressing the most important philosophical themes that range over
the three parts of this sprawling work - including topics in the
philosophy of language, metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of
law, ethics, and political philosophy. There are also essays on the
Guide's hermeneutic puzzles, and on its overall structure and
philosophical trajectory. The volume will be of interest to
philosophers, Judaists, theologians, and medievalists.
