Moses Maimonides (1135-1204) is recognized both as a leading figure
in Jewish thought and as one of the most radical philosophers of
the Islamic world. This work provides a general introduction to his
philosophy, exploring his arguments, especially those to be found
in his "Guide of the perplexed", and examining their implications
and validity. Oliver Leaman shows that Maimonides' arguments - on
the immortality of the soul, the basis of morality, the creation of
the world, the notion of prophecy, the concept of God - are related
to his central account of the meaning of religious language, and
ultimately to his theory of meaning itself. The discussion offers
insight into the rich cultural atmosphere of the Islamic world
during Maimonides' time, and shows him to be the outstanding
personality in the development of Islamic civilization. The study
reveals the significance of Maimonides to contemporary
philosophical and theological problems, and should be of interest
to philosophers, theologians, Islamicists, and medievalists.
