About this title: The great medieval sage Moses Maimonides draws on the revelations in Jewish scripture and the rationality of Aristotle's writings as he addresses one of his former students, whose initial forays into philosophy had left him "perplexed" and who needs further guidance. Originally written in Arabic in three books, this treatise consists of a large argument in small parts: sometimes a few pages on Hebrew words such as "halak," "kam, " or "shama" and their meanings, and sometimes explorations into the propositions and proofs of philosophers such as Aristotle on the creation of the universe or the ...

"To find this amazing book was an interesting adventure. The finding was almost as intense as the wisdom gained therein...
For those that wish to derive a better understanding of the Torah, and its spiritual, literal and metaphysical interpretations, then this is the read for you! You may just open the doors to YOUR relationship with God, Society & Yourself.
Moses Maimonides, a Cordova born rabbi of the 12th Century AD, can be considered the "greatest Jewish thinker of the middle ages if not of all time." He was inspired by the rationalism of Aristotle and felt that the modern philosopher must learn all of the natural sciences before they can truly dive "into" the concept of God (via the Torah).
Plan to read some of the 1-2 page chapters over and over again, because those fleeting paragraphs are jam packed with hidden truths and amazing wisdom."
"Recommended for the deep thinker. A pretty hard read. If you don't know, Moses Maimonides was the Jewish version of St. Thomas Aquinas, trying to make Judaism fit with Aristotle and Plato. VERY interesting if you've read Aristotle and Plato."
"Religion meets science with an eclectic collage of belief systems and tenets. Be ready to up your eye prescription a stigmatism or two after reading the small text in this book."
