This book investigates the re-discovery of Maimonides' Guide of the
Perplexed by the Wissenschaft des Judentums movement in Germany of
the nineteenth and beginning twentieth Germany. Since this movement
is inseparably connected with religious reforms that took place at
about the same time, it shall be demonstrated how the Reform
Movement in Judaism used the Guide for its own agenda of
historizing, rationalizing and finally turning Judaism into a
philosophical enterprise of 'ethical monotheism'. The study follows
the reception of Maimonidean thought, and the Guide specifically,
through the nineteenth century, from the first beginnings of early
reformers in 1810 and their reading of Maimonides to the
development of a sophisticated reform-theology, based on
Maimonides, in the writings of Hermann Cohen more then a hundred
years later.
