neumark professor david (3 Ergebnisse)

Softcover. Zustand: fair. First edition. Quarto. 91, [1]pp. Title page inscribed and signed by Mrs. D. Neumark. The position of Judah ha-Levi in the domain of Jewish philosophy is parallel to that occupied in Islam by Ghazali, by whom he was influenced. Like Ghazali, Judah endeavored to liberate religion from the bondage of the various philosophical systems in which it had been held by his predecessors, Saadia, David ben Marwan al-Mekamez, Gabirol, and Bahya. In a work written in Arabic, and entitled Kitab al-Hujjah wal-Dalil fi Nusr al-Din al-Dhalil, (known in the Hebrew translation of Judah ibn Tibbon by the title Sefer ha-Kuzari), Judah ha-Levi expounded his views upon the teachings of Judaism, which he defended against the attacks of non-Jewish philosophers, against the Karaites, and against those he viewed as "heretics." Wrappers missing. Upper back corner bumped, thus slightly affecting pages throughout. Very minor age-toning along paper margin. Interior in overall good to good+ condition.
