Moreh Nevukhim

Book •
Moses Maimonides' "Moreh Nevukhim" (Guide for the Perplexed) is a philosophical treatise reconciling Aristotelian philosophy with Jewish theology.

Written in the 12th century, it addresses complex issues such as the nature of God, creation, prophecy, and divine attributes.

Maimonides seeks to provide rational explanations for religious concepts, aiming to guide educated Jews who are struggling with apparent contradictions between faith and reason.

The book is divided into three parts, each exploring different aspects of Jewish thought and philosophy.

It has been influential in both Jewish and Christian intellectual history, shaping theological and philosophical discourse for centuries.

Maimonides' work remains a cornerstone of Jewish philosophical literature, studied for its insights into the relationship between religion and reason.
