A History of Mediaeval Jewish Philosophy

"A History of Mediaeval Jewish Philosophy" by Isaac Husik is a detailed exploration into the world of Jewish philosophical thinking during the Middle Ages. The author shines a light on how different Jewish thinkers helped shape Judaism as a religion and a way of understanding the world. The book begins by pointing out that there weren't many books in English about this topic at the time, and aims to fill that gap by discussing the ideas of important philosophers and how they grappled with the tension between religious teachings and logical reasoning. Husik's goal is to offer a clear and fair explanation of how Jewish thought came together during this important period, making it interesting for both people who already know about philosophy and those who are just curious.
