Book desription: Philadelphia: Jewish Publication Society of America. 1977. Hard Cover. 0827600836 . Foreword by Shlomo Pines. 296 pages, cloth, dust jacket frayed otherwise very good. Second impression. From the dj: Maimonides, the most important Jewish philosopher and codifier of the Middle Ages, occupies a commanding position in the history of Jewish and Western thought. Indeed, successive generations of philosophers have found it necessary to engage him anew, to acquire their own Maimonides, so to speak. David Hartman's work is such an effort. It is the first study in the vast Maimonidean literature to consider what in retrospect would seem to be the most obvious fact about Maimonides: namely, that in addition to being an important philosopher he was also one of the great Talmudists of all time. Dr. Hartman puts this fact at the center of his conception of Maimonides' The Guide of the Perplexed and sees that work as the prdocut of the struggle of a great Halakhist to achieve philosophical integrity. .
