The 12th century thinker Maimonides is the greatest philosopher in the history of Judaism. His understanding of Judaism was revolutionary, and has had a lasting impact to this day. In this course, we discuss his rational conception of God and providence, rationality and revelation, and the immense value of living a Jewish life, regardless of one’s cultural or historical circumstances. We will also compare his religious outlook to that of Jewish mysticism, and explore why Maimonides was so opposed to what he saw as the attempt to convey religion as magic.
