Beskrivning
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 schools within 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 of medieval 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.

Recensioner i media

Though yet another survey of medieval Jewish philosophy, this volume by Rudavsky is nevertheless an original and helpful volume in the genre. It is explicitly written as a complement if not supplement to othersurveys of medieval philosophy that have generally been found wanting regarding Jewish philosophers and their rich history of engagement with many of the same issues and even texts.
