Beskrivning

This book argues that Levi Gersonides articulates a unique model of virtue ethics among medieval Jewish thinkers. It is based on the human imitation of God as creator of the laws of the universe for no self-interested benefit, leading humans to imitate God through the virtues of loving-kindness, grace, and beneficence.
