Aviezer Ravitzky Livres

Exploring the intersection of philosophy and history, this collection features nine essays by a prominent scholar in medieval Jewish philosophy. The first part examines topics such as the political philosophies of Nissim of Gerona and Isaac Abrabanel, as well as Maimonides' views on messianism. The second part delves into the relationship between philosophical and Kabbalistic concepts of God, the nature of miracles, and the esoteric elements of Maimonides' work. Authored by Professor Aviezer Ravitzky, this volume offers profound insights into medieval thought.

Examining the complex confrontation between Jewish fundamentalism and Israeli political sovereignty, this study discusses Orthodoxy's divergent positions on Zionism, which range from radical condemnation to virtual beatification.
