Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound philosophical and ethical differences between Judaism and Hellenism as perceived in the 10th century. The author juxtaposes the views of two great thinkers of the era: Moses Maimonides, who sought to reconcile Jewish tradition with Aristotelian philosophy, and Judah Halevi, a staunch advocate for the distinctiveness of Jewish thought. Maimonides believed in the compatibility of reason and religion, arguing that the Torah was a guide for human conduct that could be justified through Greek philosophy. Halevi, on the other hand, emphasized the experiential and intuitive aspects of religion, asserting that the Jewish God was a personal, active force in the world, and that true knowledge of Him came not through speculation but through revelation and personal experience. Through a comparative analysis of these opposing viewpoints, this book sheds light on the enduring tensions between rationalism and religious faith, the nature of divinity, and the purpose of human existence.
