From Philo of Judea to Maimonides and beyond, Medieval Jewish philosophy created an
outstanding, unbroken tradition. Jewish thinkers worked to square Biblical faith with the demands of
reason; their efforts to understand the individual in relation to God and to the human community powerfully
foreshadowed contemporary problems. Maimonides, who can be compared with St. Thomas Aquinas,
profoundly influenced much subsequent philosophy.

The World of Philosophy series is a dramatic presentation, in understandable language, of the concerns,
questions, interests, and overall outlook of the world's great philosophers and philosophical traditions.
Special emphasis on clear and relevant explanations gives you a new arsenal of insights toward living a
better life.
