Book Summary
Volume Two of Jewish Philosophy: Foundations and Extensions deals with major thinkers. _Interpreting Judah Ha-Levi_ discusses misunderstandings of his idea, and his impact on Jewish thought, especially his theories of Jewish uniqueness and the superiority of oral communication. _Interpreting Maimonides_ examines the problematic structure of his Guide of the Perplexed, tensions in his ethical and political theory, and his radical approach to the book of Job._ Philosophy, Mysticism and Astrology_ explores the fluid boundaries among these fields, and how rationalist philosophers were interested in non-philosophical questions. _From Medieval to Modern Jewish Thought: Moses Mendelssohn_ demonstrates how this transitional figure, though indebted to medieval thought, also formulated a radical and pluralistic modern political philosophy.
