Moreh Nevuchim
Guide for the Perplexed
Book • 1190
Written as a letter to his student Rabbi Joseph ben Judah, this seminal work addresses theological conflicts between philosophy and Torah.
Maimonides systematically refutes anthropomorphic conceptions of God, advocates negative theology (describing God through what He is not), and interprets biblical allegories through Aristotelian metaphysics.
The text profoundly influenced both Jewish and non-Jewish philosophical traditions.
