Synopsis
Contributing Authors

International renommierte Wissenschaftler beleuchten die Welt und Philosophie Moses Maimonides’ (1135–1204) und sein Erbe für unsere Zeit.

English summary: This book sheds light on the interaction between Jews, Muslims, and Christians in medieval Spain, on Jewish and Arab philosophy of the time, and on Moses Maimonides’ legacy for the present day. The works of this philosopher, legal scholar, and physician are not viewed in a continuum of Jewish philosophers (such as Saadia Gaon and Judah Halevi), but are instead examined as part of the cultural and intellectual currents in al-Andalus and Old Cairo. Reference to the Almohad revolution in particular serves to elucidate characteristic aspects of his work: the codification of religious literature, the prominent status of philosophy, and the popularization of religious and philosophical education. German description: Fur diesen Titel wird es eine Open Access – frei verfugbare – elektronische Ausgabe geben. International renommierte Wissenschaftler folgen Moses Maimonides’ Aufforderung, Hore die Wahrheit, wer sie auch spricht und betrachten Maimonides nicht in einem Kontinuum judischer Philosophie, sondern als Teil der jeweiligen kulturellen und geistesgeschichtlichen Stromungen. Dieser Band beleuchtet zum einen charakteristische Aspekte von Maimonides’ Werk -die Kodifizierung religioser Literatur und die Popularisierung philosophischer Bildung – mit Bezug auf die almohadische Revolution im muslimischen Spanien, zum anderen prasentiert er unbekannte muslimische und christliche Lesarten seines Werks vom arabischen Mittelalter bis ins moderne Berlin.
