Description

Explore the political and philosophical foundations of Maimonides' concept of the Messiah in this scholarly work from the Studia Judaica series. This volume provides an in-depth analysis of the Messiah as a king and legislator, drawing from key texts such as his letters, Pereq Heleq, and the Mishneh Torah. The research examines how classical Greek thought influenced these ideas, specifically looking at the concept of the philosopher-king in the works of Plato and Aristotle. It also investigates the historical connections between Karaite influences and Islamic philosophy, tracing how Mu'tazilite and Ash'arite perspectives were transmitted through Karaite mediation. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between philosophy and law within the Mishneh Torah. The text also addresses the eschatological dimensions of Maimonides' thought, including both the individual and communal aspects of 'olam ha-ba. This book is an essential resource for scholars studying the intersection of Jewish law, medieval philosophy, and Islamic intellectual history.
