Download or read book Searching for a Distant God written by Kenneth Seeskin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-13 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monotheism is usually considered Judaism's greatest contribution to world culture, but it is far from clear what monotheism is. This work examines the notion that monotheism is not so much a claim about the number of God as a claim about the nature of God. Seeskin argues that the idea of a God who is separate from his creation and unique is not just an abstraction but a suitable basis for worship. He examines this conclusion in the contexts of prayer, creation, sabbath observance, repentance, religious freedom, and love of God. Maimonides plays a central role in the argument both because of his importance to Jewish self-understanding and because he deals with the question of how philosophic ideas are embodied in religious ritual.

Book excerpt: ON MAIMONIDES, like other titles in the Wadsworth Philosopher's Series, offers a concise, yet comprehensive, introduction to this philosopher's most important ideas. Presenting the most important insights of well over a hundred seminal philosophers in both the Eastern and Western traditions, the Wadsworth Philosophers Series contains volumes written by scholars noted for their excellence in teaching and for their well-versed comprehension of each featured philosopher's major works and contributions. These titles have proven valuable in a number of ways. Serving as standalone texts when tackling a philosophers' original sources or as helpful resources for focusing philosophy students' engagements with these philosopher's often conceptually daunting works, these titles have also gained extraordinary popularity with a lay readership and quite often serve as "refreshers" for philosophy instructors.

Download or read book Maimonides written by Daniel Davies and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-11-29 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Maimonides the Rationalist written by Herbert A. Davidson and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-30 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his own estimation, Maimonides was neither exclusively a dedicated philosopher nor exclusively a devoted rabbinist: he saw philosophy and the Written and Oral Torahs as a single, harmonious domain, and he believed that this view was similarly fundamental to the lives of the prophets and rabbis of old. In this book, Herbert Davidson examines Maimonides’ efforts to reconstitute this all-embracing, rationalist worldview that he felt had been lost during the millennium-long exile.

This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of the Existence of God in Maimonides, Alanus and Averroes: A Study in the Religious Philosophy of the Twelfth Century The harmonization of Reason and Religion, or the demonstration of the essential agreement between the truths of Faith and the truths of Knowledge, constitutes the most important part of the philosophical speculation of the Middle Ages. The solution Of this problem was the ultimate end of all rational reflection, for upon the de finition of the relation of Authority to Reason all the other theses depended. The questions Of the Existence Of God, His Attributes, the Creation of the World, Immortality, Free-will and Predestination can only be discussed, after it has been established that consideration Of these subjects lies within the power of the human intellect. In many cases the explanation of the problems Of Religion and Philosophy ipso facto determines the explanation of other problems subordinate to it.
