The Problem of Space in Jewish Mediaeval Philosophy (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book explores the concept of space, a fundamental philosophical puzzle that dates back to Plato and Aristotle. The author traces the evolution of ideas about space throughout Jewish philosophy, examining how Jewish thinkers grappled with questions about its nature, its relationship to matter and spirit, and its potential for infinity. The book highlights the tension between the idea of space as a physical, measurable quantity and the notion of space as a purely mental construct. It also examines how Jewish philosophers attempted to reconcile the existence of an immaterial God with the idea of a finite or infinite universe. Through its exploration of these complex and enduring questions, the book offers new insights into the history of philosophy and the nature of space itself.
