Recenzii
'In short, this is a mature work of a scholar who need not parade his talents … I would recommend it as a text for any course in Jewish philosophy or of medieval philosophy more generally.' David Burrell, University of Notre Dame
'This is an excellent piece of work, easily up to the usual high standard of the author's output. The topic is a very controversial one in Jewish philosophy … so it is a major point of interest in the area. What Seeskin does well is run through the whole philosophical background to the issue in Maimonides, in so far as it impinged on him, and this is very useful. The discussion of the whole context within which Maimonides produced his views is uniformly rigorous, balanced, and enlightening.' Oliver Leaman, University of Kentucky
'Seeskin's book is a solid contribution to the growing literature on the greatest of the medieval Jewish thinkers …' Daniel H. Frank, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
'… reads well. … a good introduction to the issues.' Ars Disputandi
