The essays in this volume, by Spinoza specialists and leading scholars in the field of medieval Jewish philosophy, consider the various dimensions of the rich, important, but vastly under-studied relationship between Spinoza and earlier Jewish thinkers. It is the first such collection in any language, and together the essays provide a detailed and extensive analysis of how different elements in Spinoza's metaphysics, epistemology, moral philosophy, and political and religious thought relate to the views of his Jewish philosophical forebears, such as Maimonides, Gersonides, Ibn Ezra, Crescas, and others. The topics addressed include the immortality of the soul, the nature of God, the intellectual love of God, moral luck, the nature of happiness, determinism and free will, the interpretation of Scripture, and the politics of religion.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 230mmItem Length: 153mmItem Width: 14mmItem Weight: 390gContributor: Steven Nadler (Edited by)Author: Steven NadlerGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
