Inhaltsangabe

"Buijs is to be congratulated for gathering into one volume essays of such a scope and quality, as well as for confronting the challenging issues of interpretation raised so acutely by Leo Strauss. This combination of factors makes this work immensely useful to students of philosophy and theology who may have been misled by their earlier studies into thinking that one can understand the medieval intellectual explosion without attending to its sources in the Arabic culture--of which Maimonides is a particularly lucid witness."—David B. Burrell, C.S.C.

"This is a splendid project filling a long-standing need and carried to fulfillment in handsome fashion. Maimonides--Moses ben Maimon--is a thinker one does not read long before becoming aware of a probing and informed intelligence. . . . His voice belongs prominently in the dialogue of the great spirits of our civilization. This volume of critical essays should help to put him there." —Harold J. Johnson, University of Western Ontario

"Professor Buijis' Maimonides is a very fine anthology of contemporary Maimonidean studies. . . . [the essays] cover a rich variety of topics in Maimonides' philosophy and represent widely different approaches among Maimonidean scholars." —Aviezer Ravitzky, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Joseph A. Buijs is a professor emeritus of St. Joseph's College at the University of Alberta. He has taught philosophy for more than thirty years and continues to be an active parishioner of St. Thomas More Parish in Edmonton. His interest in the intersection between religion and philosophy arose early in his life and remained throughout his academic career. Both in his teaching and in his research, he explored issues dealing with the apparent conflict between faith and reason and with questions about God, theism, Christianity, and worldviews. He has published articles on these topics in a variety of journals: The New Scholasticism, Judaism, The Review of Metaphysics, Vivarium, Religious Studies and Theology, Studies in Religion/Sciences Religeuses, Medieval Encounters, The Journal of the History Philosophy, Catholic Education, Philosophia Christi, Sophia, and Fidelitas. He lives in Edmonton with his wife, Rosanne. They have four adult sons and three grandchildren.
