Jewish Philosophy in the Middle Ages by T. M. Rudavsky, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

T. M. Rudavsky presents a new account of the development of Jewish philosophy from the tenth century to Spinoza in the seventeenth, viewed as part of an ongoing dialogue with medieval Christian and Islamic thought. Her aim is to provide a broad historical survey of major figures and schoolswithin the medieval Jewish tradition, focusing on the tensions between Judaism and rational thought. This is reflected in particular philosophical controversies across a wide range of issues in metaphysics, language, cosmology, and philosophical theology. The book illuminates our understanding ofmedieval thought by offering a much richer view of the Jewish philosophical tradition, informed by the considerable recent research that has been done in this area. | Jewish Philosophy in the Middle Ages by T.
