Publisher description
In this volume, 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 a practising
physician, Maimonides flourished within the high Arabic culture of the 12th
century, where he had momentous influence upon subsequent Jewish beliefs and
behaviour, upon ethical demands, and upon ritual traditions. For him, mastery
of the sciences was indispensable in the process of religious fulfilment. In this volume, 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. Maimonides had momentous
influence upon subsequent Jewish beliefs and behaviour.
