One aim of this series is to dispel the intimidation readers feel
when faced with the work of difficult and challenging thinkers.
Moses ben Maimon, also known as Maimonides (1138-1204), represents
the high point of Jewish rationalism in the middle ages. He played
a pivotal role in the transition of philosophy from the Islamic
East to the Christian West. His greatest philosophical work, The
Guide of the Perplexed, had a decisive impact on all subsequent
Jewish thought and is still the subject of intense scholarly
debate. An enigmatic figure, Maimonides continues to defy simple
attempts at classification. The twelve essays in this volume offer
a lucid and comprehensive treatment of his life and thought. They
cover the sources on which Maimonides drew, his contributions to
philosophy, theology, jurisprudence, and Bible commentary, as well
as his esoteric writing style and influence on later thinkers.
