"Da Mosè a Mosè, nessuno è grande come Mosè": in queste proverbiali parole sono riassunte la straordinaria ammirazione e l'eccezionale considerazione che, nell'ambito dell'ebraismo, hanno da sempre accompagnato la figura di Mosè Maimonide (1138-1204). Filosofo, teologo, fisico, medico, scienziato del diritto, studioso della Scrittura, Maimonide nacque a Cordova in un'epoca in cui al-Andalus rappresentava ancora un punto d'incontro fra diverse espressioni spirituali: quelle legate alle tre grandi religioni monoteistiche e quella risalente alla Grecia classica. Costretto ad abbandonare la Spagna a causa della politica intollerante degli Almohadi, Maimonide visse a lungo in Marocco e a Gerusalemme, per stabilirsi infine al Cairo, dove divenne medico personale del sultano Salah ed-Din (il Saladino). Conformemente alla vastità dei suoi interessi, il pensiero maimonideo ha esercitato una duratura influenza sulle più svariate discipline scientifiche e letterarie: dalla filosofia alla giurisprudenza, dalla medicina ai rapporti fra ebraismo, islamismo e cultura latina. Il volume, che raccoglie gli atti del Convegno "Maimonide e il suo tempo" promosso nel gennaio 2005 all'Università degli Studi di Milano dal Centro di Judaica Goren-Goldstein in collaborazione con la Cattedra di Storia della filosofia medievale I, si propone non solo di indagare i diversi settori dell'attività di Maimonide, ma anche di fornire un contributo alla chiarificazione del ricco sostrato culturale entro il quale egli poté sviluppare la sua personalità e a partire dal quale maturò la sua eredità intellettuale.

Leo Strauss's Philosophy and Law contains a groundbreaking study of the political philosophy of Maimonides and his Islamic predecessors, and it offers an argument on behalf of that philosophy which is also a profound critique of modern philosophy. Here is an entirely new and complete English translation of Strauss's work, which takes as its ideal the exacting standards of accuracy that Strauss himself emphasized in his own work. It includes a prefatory essay introducing the argument of each of the four sections of Philosophy and Law.This is a fresh and challenging treatment of the perennial conflict between reason and revelation, or philosophy and religion. Strauss's key contention in this book is that the most influential modern approaches to this conflict have run aground in ways that reflect their loss of key insights developed by the medieval philosophers of Islam and their Jewish pupils, especially Maimonides. Strauss challenges the modern view that scientific enlightenment must ultimately amount to atheism, and that therefore there can be no such thing as enlightened religion. Through a careful, original, and detailed treatment of central works of the medieval Islamic-Jewish tradition, especially Maimonides' Guide of the Perplexed, Strauss aims to recover their key insights into this question.

À partir d'une lecture du « Guide des perplexes » de Maïmonide, rabbin, philosophe et médecin (1135-1138-1204), l'auteur analyse la figure du savant et son rôle, dans le temps de l'Exil et de la perte de la prophétie, depuis la chute du Second Temple. La vocation du savant est interrogée à travers la question de la perplexité qui parcourt le traité. Celle-ci n'est pas un égarement mais, en raison des contradictions qu'elle engendre chez le savant, nourrissant sa révolte, elle représente également l'impulsion initiale préparant le savant à restaurer la science profonde de la Loi, c'est-à-dire à refonder la religion grâce à la philosophie pour revivifier cette science ancienne que Maïmonide juge perdue. Par l'étude du mode de restauration de cette science, ce sont les « lumières » proprement maïmonidiennes qu'il s'agit de dessiner. Cette restauration, par le « Guide des perplexes », est-elle réservée à une élite ou sa fonction est-elle également sociale, celle de l'enseignement des masses par cette élite ? De même, est interrogée, en creux, la temporalité de l'accomplissement de la Loi. Cette dernière ne serait pas linéaire mais parcourue de suspens, d'oublis et de pertes, et ce serait à travers ces stations irrégulières que le savant-perplexe aurait à trouver sa voie.
