Moses Maimonides : an intellectual portrait / Joel L. Kraemer -- The Guide and Maimonides' philosophical sources / Alfred L. Ivry -- Metaphysics and its transcendence / Kenneth Seeskin -- Maimonides' epistemology / Josef Stern -- Maimonides' philosophy of sciences / Gad Freudenthal -- Maimonides' moral theory / David Shatz -- Maimonides' political philosophy / Haim Kreisel -- Jurisprudence / David Novak -- Bible commentary / Sara Klein-Braslavy -- Spiritual life / Menachem Kellner -- Maimonides : esotericism and educational philosophy / Aviezer Ravitzky -- Maimonides : a guide for posterity / Seymour Feldman.

One aim of this series is to dispel the intimidation readers feel when faced with the work of difficult and challenging thinkers. Moses ben Maimon, also known as Maimonides (1138-1204), represents the high point of Jewish rationalism in the middle ages. He played a pivotal role in the transition of philosophy from the Islamic East to the Christian West. His greatest philosophical work, The Guide of the Perplexed, had a decisive impact on all subsequent Jewish thought and is still the subject of intense scholarly debate. An enigmatic figure, Maimonides continues to defy simple attempts at classification. The twelve essays in this volume offer a lucid and comprehensive treatment of his life and thought. They cover the sources on which Maimonides drew, his contributions to philosophy, theology, jurisprudence, and Bible commentary, as well as his esoteric writing style and influence on later thinkers.
