Book Synopsis
Maimonides did not consider himself to be a philosopher; he was a rabbi, judge, communal leader, and physician. Yet his work transformed Judaic thought and influenced Aquinas, Spinoza, Leibniz and Levinas. Manekin (U. of Maryland) examines Maimonides and his concept of God, the creation, divine governance, providence, and the secret of human happiness, which Maimonides believed was finding the eternal truth and then continually contemplating it.
