JEWISH PHILOSOPHY FOR THE PERPLEXED
Instructor: Dr. Mark Verman

4:10-5:50pm  T, Th    495 Millett Hall

Maimonides (1135-1204) has been the central figure in Jewish philosophy for
the last 800 years.  His thought-provoking writings probe the seminal issues
of the Bible and religious thought from a philosophical
perspective---including: ethics, psychology and the soul, creation, prophecy
and knowledge of God.  In this course we will trace Maimonides&#8217;
intellectual development through Heschel&#8217;s illuminating biography and
study the array of his writings.  Special attention will be devoted to
Maimonides&#8217; magnum opus, Guide of the Perplexed.
Textbooks:
&#8226;     Maimonides, A.J. Heschel
&#8226;     Maimonides: A Guide for Today&#8217;s Perplexed, K. Seeskin
&#8226;     A Maimonides Reader, I. Twersky
Requirements: journals, 2 essays.
