Written in the 12th century in Arabic by a faithful Jewish man, "The Guide" is a work that explores the contradiction a very intelligent mind clearly saw between the tradition he was raised to believe inherently and the growing philosophy of Arabian and Western culture. In Maimonides' time, there was an emerging disparity between the Law and a new level of philosophical sophistication, which he attempts to bridge in this work, primarily through the use of metaphor, though also acknowledging this method's limitations. "The Guide" follows the form of a three-volume letter to a student, which was quickly translated to Hebrew and spread throughout the known world and carefully read by Jews and non-Jewish philosophers alike well through the Middle Ages. This work was so successful in its organization and arguments that it has long been a classic of the Jewish religion and of the secular world of philosophy.… (meer)

Come dare un 'giudizio' a un'opera di questo calibro?
Rendere 'giustizia', con poche parole, sarebbe solamente per 'grazia'.

Da riprendere e tenere alla portata di mano, una pietra che potrebbe essere considerata di fondamento per ogni intelletto.

Un testo che occupa sia spazio che tempo ma su cui puoi tranquillamente appurare la non appartenenza allo spazio e al tempo.

Buona Lettura ( )

Looking to reconcile Aristotelian philosophy and Jewish theology, Moses Maimonides wrote The Guide for the Perplexed. A three part letter to his student, the book was influential not only to Jewish thought but Christian and Islamic thought throughout the Middle Ages while still giving those in the 21st Century insights to consider.

The first part focuses on Maimonides arguing against the anthropomorphism of God, basically stating God is incorporeal, and all references in the Bible to God doing physical things are essentially figurative language to allow the human mind to understand the works of God. This leads into a discussion by Maimonides that states that God cannot be described in positive terms only negative conceptions because while positive terms put limits on God, the negative does not. This leads into a discussion of philosophy and mysticism of various kinds. The second part begins on Maimonides expounding on the physical structure of the universe, an essentially Aristotelian world-view, which eventually leads into a debate on if the universe is eternal or created. Though Maimonides admits that Aristotle’s arguments for an eternal universe are better, Divine Revelation decides the matter. Maimonides then expounds on the Creation presented in Genesis and theories on the possible end of the world. The last part is explained as the climax of the whole work as Maimonides expounds on the mystical passage of the Chariot found in Ezekiel, which isn’t supposed to be directly taught only hinted at though over time direct instruction has become the normal. This is followed by analysis of the moral aspects of the universe and explaining the reasons for the 613 laws in the Torah. Maimonides ends the book with how God is worshipped correctly, through wisdom.

The comparison of and thesis of complimenting of long held Jewish theological thought and Aristotelian philosophy by Maimonides could have been hard to follow, the text was more than readable and thus the arguments very understandable. While his arguments and logic are insight and enlightening, Maimonides is yet another religious individual who has married ‘pagan’ philosophy with divine revelation to the determinant of the latter like many of his Christian contemporaries were doing and their predecessors before them and many would do after. This is the book’s biggest flaw, but instead of being a reason not to read it is the main one to read it and thus understand the arguments of those who want to merge two separate worldviews into one.

The Guide for the Perplexed was intended by Maimonides for learned individuals to give his view on philosophy more than theology, however the two could not be connected within the text. While I do not adhere to the vast majority of the thoughts the author expounded upon, the insight into medieval thought were invaluable and insightful. ( )

GUÍA DE DESCARRIADOS

Guía de descarriados es un tratado filosófico en el que Maimónides armonizó los fundamentos de la religión mosaica con el racionalismo aristotélico y averroísta, como una forma de acercarse a Dios. El autor cordobés, heredero del legado cultural judío en la diáspora sefardí, brindó respuestas concretas al judío creyente que se sintió agitado y perplejo porque su doctrina religiosa había entrado en colisión con los postulados filosóficos. Maimónides se sirvió de la metáfora de la almendra para explicar su método filosófico. El vulgo iletrado se enredará en la rigidez de la cáscara y no apreciará la riqueza del fruto, el contenido esotérico. Incluso el iniciado insatisfecho de la fe mosaica que buscaba respuestas en las meditaciones filosóficas podría sentirse azorado por la belleza de la corteza, pero una vez que el sabio maestro le confiase la llave podría abrir la cancela al mundo de la meditación, esclarecer la causa de su turbación y salir de su estado de perplejidad.

MAIMONIDES :

nació en Córdoba el 30 de marzo de 1138, en el seno de una distinguida familia, por vía paterna, de jueces rabínicos, estudiosos y dirigentes comunitarios, documentada desde el siglo X y que pretendía descender del Rabí Yehudá ha-Nasí, de la segunda mitad del siglo II, redactor de la Mishná. Su familia materna, por el contrario, era de humilde condición; su madre, que murió al darle a luz, era la hija de un carnicero; y su padre se volvió a casar. Era éste un erudito formado en Lucena por Rabí Yosef ha-Leví ibn Migash. Inició ya de pequeño sus estudios bíblicos y talmúdicos en la ciudad de Córdoba, pero en 1148 una ola de fanatismo almohade hizo que su familia tuviera que aparentar su conversión al Islam y cambiar a menudo de residencia por al-Ándalus.

Vivió en la ciudad de Almería, donde dio cobijo en su casa a su maestro Averroes, hasta trasladarse en 1160 con sus hijos a Fez. Allí residió durante sólo cinco años, debido a la intolerancia almohade que les obligó a exiliarse, primero durante unos meses, en Palestina y finalmente en Egipto. Maimónides residió allí el resto de su vida junto a su familia, en la ciudad de Alejandría y después en Fustat (hoy El Cairo, Egipto), donde se ganó la vida ejerciendo la medicina en la corte del visir Saladino, y luego en la del visir al-Fadl, hijo mayor de Saladino. Con este oficio obtuvo una gran fama y admiración popular. En 1177 fue nombrado dirigente de la comunidad judía de Egipto. Murió en Al-Fustat el 13 de diciembre de 1204. Posteriormente su tumba fue trasladada a Tiberíades, en el actual Israel.

Su fama en la cultura europea se debe a su obra filosófica. Aunque ésta fuera muy discutida por el judaísmo, entre otras razones por su fuerte oposición al misticismo de los cabalistas y su influencia aristotélica, se le considera la mayor figura posbíblica (según el proverbio “De Moisés a Moisés no hubo otro Moisés”). En ciertos ámbitos más conservadores se le llegó a considerar hereje de su religión, en especial, por ser el responsable de convencer a los caraístas de apartarse de sus prácticas originales, y acercándolos al judaísmo rabínico.
Fue muy conocido por sus coetáneos como médico, dejando una importante huella en la tradición popular que muestra a Maimónides, sobre todo, como un médico a quien se atribuyen milagros que le elevan al nivel de santo, un sabio juez y un rabino...

Wow! If I could give more stars to this book, I would. Moreh Nevuchim helps to dispel common misconceptions people have over passages in the Torah/Bible. Ultimately, the goal of Rambam, is to help the reader achieve a level where they can have a true knowledge of Hashem, and to dispel of preconceived ideas of Hashem which ultimately lead to avodah zara. The english in this version of the book is a bit archaic, so you might to read Shlomo Pines version, which I plan to do next. ( )

Some have been of opinion that by the Hebrew Zelem, the shape and figure of a thing is to be understood, and this explanation led men to believe in the corporeality [of the Divine Being]: for they thought that the words "Let us make man in our Zelem" (Gen. i. 26), implied that God had the form of a human being, i.e., that He had figure and shape, and that, consequently, He was corporeal.
