In this book, 11 leading scholars contribute to the understanding
of the scientific and philosophical works of Moses Maimonides
(1135-1204), the most luminous Jewish intellectual since Talmudic
times. Deeply learned in mathematics, astronomy, astrology (which
he strongly rejected), logic, philosophy, psychology, linguistics,
and jurisprudence, and himself a practising physician, Maimonides
flourished within the high Arabic culture of the 12th century,
where he had momentous influence upon subsequent Jewish beliefs and
behavior, upon ethical demands, and upon ritual traditions. For
him, mastery of the sciences was indispensable in the process of
religious fulfilment.
