Moses and Abraham Maimonides: Encountering the Divine
Autor Diana Lobelen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 iun 2022
Moses Maimonides—a proud heir to the Andalusian tradition of Aristotelian philosophy—crafted a bold and original philosophical interpretation of Torah and Judaism. His son Abraham Maimonides is a fascinating maverick whose Torah commentary mediates between the philosophical interpretations of his father, the contextual approach of Biblical exegetes such as Saadya, and the Sufi-flavored illuminative mysticism of his Egyptian Pietist circle. This pioneering study explores the intersecting approaches of Moses and Abraham Maimonides to the spark of divine illumination and revelation of the divine name Ehyeh asher Ehyeh, “I am that I am / I will be who I will be.”

Conclusion
Recenzii
“…Moses and Abraham Maimonides: Encountering the Divine, offers us a far more nuanced comparison of Abraham and Moses Maimonides than we have previously seen. Lobel presents a valuable portrait of the interplay between Maimonides’s philosophy and his inner religious life and spiritual practices. …Lobel’s book provides an excellent comparison between the thought of Moses and Abraham Maimonides. Her contributions to the scholarship, though subtle and nuanced, are certainly important. It is definitely a worthwhile read for anyone interested in Moses or Abraham Maimonides. …She identifies nuanced differences and puts to rest facile oversimplifications. It is the start of the study, though, not the end. There remain important questions that, as Pines wrote, ‘“need further investigation.’””
— David Fried, The Lehrhaus
“Reading Lobel’s book, one gets a vivid impression of scholarship as a joint venture and a communal affair. The reader will not find in her study breakthroughs and new directions that are going against the current of the main scholarly stream. Rather, the book presents thoughtful and stimulating discussions that elaborate, reinforce, and complement investigations made by other scholars in the field.”
