Synopsis "In and Around Maimonides: Original Essays (in English)"
In and Around Maimonides presents eight highly focused studies on Moses Maimonides and those around him. "In Maimonides" refers to close readings of passages from Maimonides' writings; "around Maimonides" refers to concentric circles, beginning with his own family (his father R. Maimon and his son R. Abraham), with whom Maimonides' views are in conversation; medieval Yemen, where Maimonides' writings were studied and glossed in their original language; Judah Halevi, a major figure in Andalusian Judaeo-Arabic culture with whom Maimonides is often contrasted; and, finally a wide range of Judaeo-Arabic figures, all of whom engaged with the vocabularies of religion. These studies offer new and important insights into the thought of Maimonides on a variety of issues, such as the capacity of humans to better themselves morally, the political nature of prophecy, and the proper way to approach God.
