The first ever monographic study on the theological encounter of Judaism with Shīʻism through an explorartion of Judah Halevi’s reliance on basic themes of Shīʻism in the presentation of Judaism in his classical treatise, The Kuzari. The systematic formulation of the status of the People of Israel as the Chosen People of God stands at the heart of Judah Halevi’s famous theological and polemical treatise – the Kuzari. The idea of the Chosen People is an ancient one and is deeply rooted in Judaism. Through a wide-ranging textual and phenomenological investigation, this book highlights the novel and systematic presentation of the Chosen People in the Kuzari and shows how Judah Halevi draws, in a creative manner, on terms, concepts, and themes borrowed from the Shī‘ī doctrine of the Imām as presented in Shī‘ī literature. This book presents a historical perspective for understanding the basis of Judah Halevi’s attraction to Shī‘ī theology, with its unique category of God’s Chosen. The polemical argument over the issue of the legitimate successor to leadership in early Islam, as well as the debate around the legitimate successor-group in medieval interreligious disputes, emerges as the historical background for the seemingly surprising link between the Shī‘ī Imām doctrine and the idea of the Chosen People in Judah Halevi’s thought. This link on the one hand portrays Halevi as a bold, original thinker and, on the other, portrays the Shī‘ī Imām doctrine as exceedingly fruitful and reaching beyond the bounds of Islam.

The tension between reason and revelation has occupied Jewish philosophers for centuries, who were committed, on the one hand, to defending Judaism, and, on the other hand, to remaining loyal to philosophical principles. Maimonides is considered the most prominent Jewish religious philosopher, whose aim was to reconcile philosophy, in particular Aristotelian philosophy, with the fundamental principles of Judaism. But many other Jewish thinkers, before and after him, also struggled with this task, raising the question whether it is possible to attain this reconciliation. The connection between philosophy and religion was often not an obvious one. As a consequence, it could serve in some cases as grounds for supporting Maimonides' project, while in others it could lead to rejection.Scepticism and Anti septicism in Medieval Jewish Thought focuses on sceptical questions, methods, strategies, and approaches raised by Jewish thinkers in the Middle Ages. In a series of lectures, we examine the variety of attitudes presented by these thinkers, as well as the latest readings of contemporary scholars concerning those attitudes.

" Un homme dont la pensée est indépendante peut exprimer publiquement ses opinions sans dommage, pourvu qu'il agisse avec prudence. II peut même les faire imprimer sans courir aucun danger, pourvu qu'il soit capable d'écrire entre les lignes. " L'écriture entre les lignes est le sujet de cet ouvrage, sans nul doute le plus célèbre de Leo Strauss, qui traite des relations entre la philosophie et la politique à travers l'analyse de deux classiques de la pensée juive : le Guide des Égarés de Moïse Maïmonide et le Kuzari de Yéhuda Halévi, et du Traité théologico-politique de Baruch Spinoza. Si le contexte de cet ouvrage de Strauss, écrit entre 1941 et 1948, a bien évidemment changé, les conditions d'une " pensée véritablement indépendante " ne semblent pas s'être améliorées. C'est pourquoi la méthode de lecture proposée par Strauss se révèle être un outil de première nécessité pour une meilleure "éducation". Elle s'avère d'autant plus essentielle qu'elle permet de mieux comprendre l'" art d'écrire " de cet auteur décisif.
