Description
A landmark new translation of Maimonides' most significant text in medieval Jewish thought is now available. Written around 1190, the Guide to the Perplexed navigates the complex relationship between logic, mathematics, and biblical traditions. In this new English translation, Maimonides' warm and conversational voice shines through, making his ideas accessible to a wider audience. Maimonides, a philosopher, jurist, and physician, wrote the Guide in response to the challenges of reconciling reason with tradition. His work probes the mysteries of physics and metaphysics, presenting problems to be solved rather than celebrated for their obscurity. This translation by Lenn E. Goodman and Phillip I. Lieberman brings Maimonides' methods and insights to life, revealing a profound impact on later thinkers. The Guide continues to inspire inquiry, discovery, and debate among philosophers, theologians, and lay readers today, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of faith and reason.
