Maimon and his son R. Abraham), with whom Maimonides' views are in conversation; medieval Yemen, where Maimonides' writings were studied and glossed in their original language; Judah Halevi, a major figure in Andalusian Judaeo-Arabic culture with whom Maimonides is often contrasted; and, finally a wide range of Judaeo-Arabic figures, all of whom engaged with the vocabularies of religion. These studies offer new and important insights into the thought of Maimonides on a variety of issues, such as the capacity of humans to better themselves morally, the political nature of prophecy, and the proper way to approach God. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46452161806487,"sku":"9781463243302","price":13281.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781463243302.webp?v=1769139765","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/in-and-around-maimonides-original-essays-9781463243302","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
