Over the last two decades there has been an increasing interest in
the influence of medieval Jewish thought upon Spinoza's philosophy.
The essays in this volume, by Spinoza specialists and leading
scholars in the field of medieval Jewish philosophy, consider the
various dimensions of the rich, important, but vastly under-studied
relationship between Spinoza and earlier Jewish thinkers. It is the
first such collection in any language, and together the essays
provide a detailed and extensive analysis of how different elements
in Spinoza's metaphysics, epistemology, moral philosophy, and
political and religious thought relate to the views of his Jewish
philosophical forebears, such as Maimonides, Gersonides, Ibn Ezra,
Crescas, and others. The topics addressed include the immortality
of the soul, the nature of God, the intellectual love of God, moral
luck, the nature of happiness, determinism and free will, the
interpretation of Scripture, and the politics of religion.
