The series Studies and Texts in Scepticism contains monographs translations and collected
essays exploring scepticism in its dual manifestation as a purely philosophical tradition and
as a set of sceptical strategies concepts and attitudes in the cultural field - especially in
religions perhaps most notably in Judaism. In such cultural contexts scepticism manifests as a
critical attitude towards different dimensions and systems of secular or revealed knowledge and
towards religious and political authorities. It is not merely an intellectual or theoretical
worldview but a critical form of life that expresses itself in such diverse phenomena as
religion literature and society.Further book series of the Maimonides Centre for Advanced
Studies are Jewish Thought Philosophy and Religion and the Yearbook of the Maimonides Centre
for Advances Studies.
