Maimonides: Paper Read Before the Philosophical Society of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich., January 19, 1890 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A clear, thoughtful look at Maimonides’ ethics, free will, and the role of law in religion.
This scholarly work presents a focused examination of how Maimonides treats free will, moral responsibility, and the harmony between divine omniscience and human choice. It situates his ethics within broader questions of religion, philosophy, and the formation of civic life, offering a careful reading that connects ancient ideas to modern concerns.
The discussion moves through key themes: the nature of freedom, the source of morality, and the relation between religion’s restraints and ethical self-direction. It contrasts Maimonides’ views with other schools of thought and practice, and it explores how prophecy fits into his philosophical system.- How Maimonides defines free will and moral responsibility.
- How ethics arises from experience, habit, and self-discipline rather than mere doctrine.
- The relationship between God, knowledge, and human action in his thought.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores Moses Maimonides' philosophy, a significant figure in Jewish thought who sought to reconcile religion and philosophy. As a leader in medieval Jewish exegesis and hermeneutics, Maimonides attempted to resolve the tension between Mosaism and Aristotelianism, a prevalent philosophical school during his time. The author argues that Maimonides' focus on human freedom, morality, and the relationship between God and humanity holds relevance beyond the immediate context of Jewish philosophy. The book delves into Maimonides' ethical principles, his views on the state, and his doctrine of prophecy, presenting a comprehensive account of his philosophical contributions. Through an examination of Maimonides' ideas, the book offers insights into the complex relationship between religion, philosophy, and the human condition.
