Crescas: Light of the Lord : Translated with Introduction and Notes
Roslyn Weiss (ed.)
Oxford: Oxford University Press (2018)
Abstract
This is the first complete English translation of Hasdai Crescas's Light of the Lord, a seminal work of medieval Jewish philosophy. Crescas challenges the Aristotelian underpinnings of medieval thought, introduces alternative physical and metaphysical theories, and presents service to the God of love and benefaction as the goal for humankind.Author's Profile
