Excerpt from Maimonides: Paper Read Before the Philosophical Society of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich., January 19, 1890
In a rough estimate, we may class him amongst philosophers of religion. He means to Show that a reconciliation between religion and philosophy is possible. But the Bible is to him still an oracle, which ought in all cases to yield the right response. Be it remarked here, however, that Maimonides is more susceptible to suggestions coming from textual criticism than, perhaps, the majority of spanish-jewish writers, with the exceptions of the Kimchi's and more especially of Abraham ibn Esra. Maimonides does not hesitate to abandon the traditional version Of the Bible when it comes into conflict with what is proved to be other wise incontrovertible. It was a dictum of his that reason must be the test of faith; nothing that contradicts reason can be an object of belief, or can form a 'part of valid religion.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores Moses Maimonides' philosophy, a significant figure in Jewish thought who sought to reconcile religion and philosophy. As a leader in medieval Jewish exegesis and hermeneutics, Maimonides attempted to resolve the tension between Mosaism and Aristotelianism, a prevalent philosophical school during his time. The author argues that Maimonides' focus on human freedom, morality, and the relationship between God and humanity holds relevance beyond the immediate context of Jewish philosophy. The book delves into Maimonides' ethical principles, his views on the state, and his doctrine of prophecy, presenting a comprehensive account of his philosophical contributions. Through an examination of Maimonides' ideas, the book offers insights into the complex relationship between religion, philosophy, and the human condition.
