A/loshe Halbertal
Maimonides was the greatest Jewish philoso-
pher and legal scholar of the medieval period,
a towering figure who has had a profound and
lasting influence on Jewish law, philosophy, and
religious consciousness. This book provides
a comprehensive and accessible introduction
to his life and work, revealing how his philo-
sophical sensibility and outlook informed his
interpretation of Jewish tradition.
Ado she TTalbertal vividly describes Maimon-
ides’s childhood in A/luslim Spain, his family’s
flight to North Africa to escape persecution,
and their eventual resettling in Egypt. Tie draws
on Maimonidess letters and the testimonies of
his contemporaries, both Muslims and Jews,
to offer new insights into his personality and
the circumstances that shaped his thinking.
Halbertal then turns to Maimonidess legal and
philosophical work, analyzing his three great
books Commentary on the Adishnahy Ad is line h
Torahy and the Guide of the Perplexed. Tie dis-
cusses Maimonidess battle against all attempts
to personify God, his conviction that God’s
presence in the world is mediated through the
natural order rather than through miracles, and
his locating of philosophy and science at the
summit of the religions life of Torah. Halbertal
examines Maimonidess philosophical positions
on fundamental questions such as the nature
and limits of religious language, creation and
nature, prophecy, providence, the problem of
evil, and the meaning of the commandments.
A stunning achievement, Alaimamicies offers
an unparalleled look: at the life and thought of
this important Jewish philosopher, scholar, and
theologian.
Moshc fis the Gruss Professor of
Law at New York University, professor of Jewish
thought and philosophy at the Hebrew Uni-
versity, and professor of law at I DC Herzliya in
Israel. His books include On Sacrifice and Con-
cealment and Revelation: JBsotericism in Jewish
Thought and Its Philosophical Implications
(both Princeton).
