Publisher's Synopsis
The Reasons of the Laws of Moses is a book by the renowned Jewish philosopher and theologian, Moses Maimonides. In this work, Maimonides seeks to provide a rational explanation for the laws and commandments found in the Torah, the sacred text of Judaism. He draws on his extensive knowledge of philosophy, science, and Jewish tradition to explore the underlying principles and purposes behind each law. Maimonides begins by discussing the nature of the Torah and its relationship to reason and intellect. He argues that the laws of the Torah are not arbitrary, but rather reflect a deep understanding of human nature and the world around us. He then delves into specific laws and commandments, including those related to worship, ethics, and social justice. Throughout the book, Maimonides emphasizes the importance of understanding the reasons behind the laws, rather than simply following them blindly. He also addresses common objections and criticisms of the laws, and provides responses based on reason and logic. Overall, The Reasons of the Laws of Moses is a fascinating exploration of the intellectual underpinnings of Jewish law and tradition. It is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Torah and its significance in Jewish life and thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
