Leibowitz, not Maimonides
20 May 2002
Format:Paperback
The problem with this book is that it is an exposition of the provocative and important world view of the late Yeshayahu Leibowitz, but falls short as a comprehensive interpretaion of Maimonides. The readings of Maimonides are (at best) controversial, do not add up to a systematic analysis of Maimonidean thought. Leibowitz gives no hint of how his interpretation fits into the large body of Maimonidean studies, and the book can not therefore serve as an introduction to the thought of the greatest Jewish thinker ever.
A good short look at the Rambam
6 Dec 2004
Format:Paperback
There are two mistakes in the listing of this book on Amazon. It should be "The Faith of Maimonedes" by Yeshayahu Leibowitz .
I read this book in Hebrew. Leibowitz reads the Rambam through his own particular conception of Mitzvot in which being commanded by God and obeying God are the essence of Halachic Judaism.
