The autism of this book is endearing, he spends the 1/3 debunking any anthropomorphic verb in the tanakh, claiming a non literal meaning
>>25221093seems kino
>>25221093True. It is endearing.>>25221987It can be kino. I actually enjoyed my first read and Ive been meaning to pick it up again. Sadly its not that well known.
>>25221093his introduction is very, very useful for approaching pre-modern books. Thinkers tended to conceal their more subversive teachings so they wouldn't be noticed and harassed/killed like Socrates. Note which works he mentions use the 5th and 7th cause of contradiction, and his description of his own work, where everything has been put into its intended place with exact careI'm using this method to do a deep dive through the Nicomachean Ethics
>>25222017>Sadly its not that well known.are you shittin me? he's called the "second moses"he probably kicked down enough jews on the slippery slope of schizophrenia to impress hitler
>>25221093
>>25222505>hebrew dialectics
>>25222318Yeah true but i feel like in the /lit sphere only Jews will know him no?
>>25223313I'm not the person you're replying to.I know Maimonides because of Borges.
>>25223313not really, there are tons of philosophy and history oriented people here and Maimonedes is a big figure in both domainsnot to mention anything related to medieval literature or religion
>>25223532Interesting >>25223599I see. Well that's good news I guess. I did not know he was that well known. Can you elaborate on him being a big figure in history domain?
>>25224288>Can you elaborate on him being a big figure in history domain?I can't, but I can tell you that I said that because his text was among the first (if not the first) Jewish text to be printed
>>25223313Maimonides is easily as well known as Ghazali and is considered an influence on western philosophy via Spinoza
