Kenneth Seeskin, 'What the Guide of the Perplexed is Really About'

Kenneth Seeskin, "What the Guide of the Perplexed is Really About"

Roz and Ralph Halbert Fund in Jewish Studies

It is generally agreed that Maimonides' Guide of the Perplexed is one of the greatest if not the greatest book ever written on Jewish philosophy. Unfortunately there has never been agreement on what the book is actually trying to do. This lecture will try to clarify things by emphasizing what Maimonides says about the limits of human knowledge.
