Sinopse
Características

Jewish Philosophy in the Middle Ages presents an overview of the formative period of medieval Jewish philosophy, from its beginnings with Sa`adiah Gaon to its apex in Maimonides, when Jews living in Islamic countries and writing in Arabic were the first to develop a conscious and continuous tradition of philosophy. The book includes a dictionary of selected philosophic terms, and discusses the Greek and Arabic schools of thought influencing the Jewish thinkers and to which they responded. The discussion covers: What is Jewish philosophy; Sa`adiah Gaon and the Kalam; Jewish Neo-Platonism; Bahya ibn Paqudah; Abraham ibn Ezras philosophical Bible exegesis; Judah Ha-Levis critique of philosophy; Abraham ibn Daud and the transition to Aristotelianism; Maimonides; the controversy over Maimonides and philosophy.
