Description

Maimonides's Guide for the Perplexed remains a foundational text in Jewish philosophy. In Homo Mysticus, José Faur offers a modern reevaluation of this seminal work, applying critical theory and poststructural analysis to uncover new insights into Maimonides's ideas on prophecy, imagination, intellect, providence, and esoterism. Faur's interpretation reveals the depth and complexity of Maimonides's thought, shedding light on the philosopher's views on fulfilling commandments and the role of mysticism in Jewish tradition. This radical new reading will become a starting point for future discussion and research on Maimonides and his work. By examining Maimonides's Guide through a modern critical lens, Homo Mysticus provides a fresh perspective on this influential text, making it an essential resource for scholars and anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy and Jewish thought.
