Description

A Guide to the Guide to the Perplexed: A Reader's Companion to Maimonides' Masterwork by Lenn E. Goodman provides in-depth analysis and insights into Maimonides' celebrated work, the Guide to the Perplexed. Written over a lifetime of study, this volume explores the meaning and purpose of the Guide, which aims to reconcile biblical tradition with reason and natural sciences. Goodman's guide delves into the text of the Guide, explaining Maimonides' interpretations of key concepts such as the Talmudic Ma'aseh Bereshit and Ma'aseh Merkavah in relation to physics and metaphysics. The book examines Maimonides' treatments of revelation, religious practice, experience, law, ritual, the problem of evil, and the rational purposes of the commandments. This companion volume offers a clear and accessible explanation of Maimonides' philosophical approach, helping readers navigate the complexities of his work.
