Publisher's Synopsis
""A History of Medieval Jewish Philosophy"" by Issac Husik is a comprehensive overview of the development of Jewish philosophy during the Middle Ages. The book begins with an examination of the philosophical ideas found in the Talmud and Midrash, and then traces the evolution of Jewish philosophical thought through the works of major figures such as Saadia Gaon, Judah Halevi, Maimonides, and Gersonides. The author explores the various philosophical schools of thought that emerged within the Jewish community during this time period, including Aristotelianism, Neoplatonism, and Kabbalistic mysticism. Husik also examines the impact of Islamic and Christian philosophy on Jewish thought, as well as the influence of Jewish philosophy on later philosophical movements.
