"This volume contains fourteen essays written by the foremost Maimonidean scholars of this generation and the last, as well as an introduction and bibliography prepared by the editor. It seeks to present a modern, philosophically-sophisticated audience with the best in English-language scholarship on Maimonides's philosophy.... It is well suited as a textbook for students of medieval thought and of Medieval Judaism.” —Critical Review
“Buijs is to be congratulated for gathering into one volume essays of such a scope and quality, as well as for confronting the challenging issues of interpretation raised so acutely by Leo Strauss. This combination of factors makes this work immensely useful to students of philosophy and theology who may have been misled by their earlier studies into thinking that one can understand the medieval intellectual explosion without attending to its sources in the Arabic culture—of which Maimonides is a particularly lucid witness.” —David B. Burrell, C.S.C., author of Knowing the Unkowable God: Ibn-Sina, Maimonides, Aquinas
Joseph A. Buijs is associate professor in philosophy, St. Joseph's College, University of Alberta, Canada.
