In this comprehensive volume, renowned philosopher Lenn E. Goodman delves into the profound insights he has acquired throughout his lifetime of contemplating the essence and purpose of Maimonides' celebrated Guide to the Perplexed. Originally written in the late twelfth century, Maimonides' Guide serves as a valuable resource for religiously devoted readers who are aware of the challenges posed by reason and the natural sciences to biblical and rabbinic traditions. This volume, accompanied by a new translation and commentary by Lenn E. Goodman and Phillip I. Lieberman, traces Maimonides' life and learning, providing a clear interpretation of the Guide's text by identifying the Talmudic Ma aseh Bereshit and Ma aseh Merkavah with physics and metaphysics (according to Maimonides, biblical cosmology and theology). By exploring Maimonides' treatments of revelation, religious practice, and experience, law and ritual, the problem of evil, and the rational purposes of the commandments, this guide to the Guide offers a comprehensive exploration of the tactics Maimonides employed to ensure that readers navigate the treacherous depths of philosophical inquiry with caution and understanding.
