Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of Space in Jewish Mediaeval Philosophy Such are the difficulties which present themselves in connexion with the notion of space. The deeper the mind delves into the problem, the greater the tangle. It is one of the sphinxes in the deserts of thought. From the dawn of Speculation we find Space to be one of the most promi nent objects of investigation; Zeno, Plato, and Aristotle bent their great intellects on the solution of space colossal systems of science were reared on the notion of space. Yet the meaning of space has remained a mystery till the present day. Indeed, the difficulties seem to increase with the time. It would' be preposterous of course to claim that the Jews were cognizant of all these difficulties that the modern era has introduced. If we turn to examine the views on space maintained by the two greatest of Greek thinkers, who had such an enormous influence on Jewish thought, we will get a notion of the type of problems that we will have to deal with in the following chapters. In addition, it will present us the sources and the starting-point for the views that are to be discussed in this study.

Excerpt: ...contradictory to speak of an existing infinite number. Infinite divisibility denotes a process, but not a state. Such is the solution of Gersonides. It rids us at once of the haunting ghost of Zeno which continued to appear as soon as we had infinite divisibility on our lips. Gersonides showed us how to make of it an intelligible theory. We are now ready to draw a line under the first general inquiry of our work. The problems that so far occupied our attention are connected with the conception of empirical space, i. e. with that part of space which has.embodied itself in concrete tangible matter, and has become therefore an object of experience. We have seen how the Jewish thinkers never doubted the independent objective reality of space as presented to their senses. They differed as to its ontological importance in the make-up of things, they took issues as to its accidental or substantial nature, but no one questioned its independent existence. Thus the Kantian view of the subjectivity of space, which puts all extensity at the mercy of our senses, is far removed from the Jewish standpoint. Some thinkers, we have seen, even go to the extreme in maintaining that space is the sum and substance of all material existence, the substantial groundwork of all things. Perhaps this distinctly empirical standpoint is somewhat responsible for the general Jewish opposition to Arabian atomism with its assumption of a real yet spaceless particle as the basis of the material world. At any rate, Jewish thinkers all upheld the indestructibility of extension by means of division, that space is infinitely divisible--a theory the tremendous difficulties of which were altogether removed by Gersonides, who showed that the notion of infinite divisibility...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breaking with strictly historical or textual perspectives, this book explores Jewish philosophy as philosophy. Often regarded as too technical for Judaic studies and too religious for philosophy departments, Jewish philosophy has had an ambiguous position in the academy. These provocative essays propose new models for the study of Jewish philosophy that embrace wider intellectual arenas—including linguistics, poetics, aesthetics, and visual culture—as a path toward understanding the particular philosophic concerns of Judaism. As they reread classic Jewish texts, the essays articulate a new set of questions and demonstrate the vitality and originality of Jewish philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: T. M. Rudavsky presents a new account of the development of Jewish philosophy from the tenth century to Spinoza in the seventeenth, viewed as part of an ongoing dialogue with medieval Christian and Islamic thought. Her aim is to provide a broad historical survey of major figures and schools within the medieval Jewish tradition, focusing on the tensions between Judaism and rational thought. This is reflected in particular philosophical controversies across a wide range of issues in metaphysics, language, cosmology, and philosophical theology. The book illuminates our understanding of medieval thought by offering a much richer view of the Jewish philosophical tradition, informed by the considerable recent research that has been done in this area.
