Maimonides and His Heritage

Examines the Jewish philosphers influence on theology, philosophy, medicine, and law, and his impact on later thinkers.
Edited by Idit Dobbs-Weinstein and Lenn E. Goodman and James Allen Grady
(256 Pages)Publisher: SUNY, 2009

This volume celebrates the depth and breadth of Jewish philosopher Moses Maimonides (1138 1204) achievements. The essays gathered here explore the rich diversity of a heritage that extends over eight hundred years, beginning with Maimonides historical context; ranging through his distinct contributions to philosophy, theology, medicine, and Jewish law; to the impact his ideas have had on later generations. His humane perspective and commitment to intellectual rigor are reflected in the wide range of his works and his active role as a spiritual guide and intellectual leader. Maimonides intellectual openness makes his work an enduring model of creative synthesis and critical appropriation, as well as a continuing source of intellectual stimulation not only for the many specialist scholars who scrutinize his texts but also for a wide and lively audience of non-specialists.
