CLASSIC THINKERS SERIES MAIMONIDES - DANIEL D...

The most famous of all medieval Jewish thinkers  Moses Maimonides is known for his monumental
contributions to Jewish law  theology and medicine  and for an influence that extends into the
wider world. His remarkable work  The Guide for the Perplexed  is notoriously difficult to
interpret  since Maimonides aimed it at those already versed in both philosophy and the
rabbinic tradition and used literary techniques to test his readers and force them to think
through his arguments. Daniel Davies explores Maimonides' approaches to issues of perennial and
universal concern: human nature and the soul  the problem of evil  the creation of the world 
the question of God's existence  and negative theology. He addresses the unusual ways in which
Maimonides presented his arguments  contextualising Maimonides' thought in the philosophy and
religion of his own time  as well as elucidating it for today's readers. This philosophically
rich introduction is an essential guide for students and scholars of medieval philosophy 
philosophy of religion  theology and Jewish studies.
