The Guide for the Perplexed Moses Maimonides Audiobooks in 3 MP3 Audio CDs Moses Maimonides (1138 - 1204) Moses ben Maimon (Arabic: موسى بن ميمون), commonly known as Maimonides and also referred to by the acronym Rambam, was a medieval Sephardic Jewish philosopher who became one of the most prolific and influential Torah scholars of the Middle Ages. In his time, he was also a preeminent astronomer and physician. Born in Córdoba, Almoravid empire (present-day Spain) on Passover Eve, 1138, he worked as a rabbi, physician, and philosopher in Morocco and Egypt. He died in Egypt on December 12, 1204, whence his body was taken to the lower Galilee and buried in Tiberias. The Guide for the Perplexed, Part 1Read in English by Daniel Davison; Sovietgnome; C. ZandraRunning Time:10:09:57 in 1 MP3 Audio CDThe Guide for the Perplexed by Mūsá ibn Maymūn (known throughout the Christian West as Moses Maimonides) is regarded as one of the most important works of Medieval Jewish thought. The book attempted to harmonize the philosophy of Aristotle with the Rabbinical teachings, but was regarded by many at the time as antithetical to Jewish theology, despite its earnest arguments in vindication of the ways of God. The Guide for the Perplexed, Part 2Read in English by Kazbek; Geoffrey Edwards; Jennifer Beckett-Wood; Larry Wilson; Kevin S.; Benjaman ReiseRunning Time:08:47:26 in 1 MP3 Audio CDIn the Guide of the Perplexed Maimonides (Moses ben Maimon) achieved an original and highly influential synthesis of religious and secular learning, drawing on Rabbinical teachings, the Aristotelian and neo-Platonic doctrines then current in the Islamic world, as well as his own scriptural exegeses and philosophical arguments. According to Encyclopaedia Judaica, "almost every philosophic work for the remainder of the Middle Ages cited, commented on, or criticized Maimonides' views." The Guide for the Perplexed, Part 3Read by Geoffrey EdwardsRunning Time:14:11:13 in 1 MP3 Audio CDThe Guide for the Perplexed, Part 3 by Rabbi Moses ben Maimon the Sephardi who is commonly known as Maimonides and also referred to by the acronym Rambam. The Guide was written in Judeo-Arabic using the Hebrew alphabet in the form of a three-part letter to the Rambam's student, Rabbi Joseph ben Judah of Ceuta. Maimonides says, "To give a full explanation of the mystic passages of the Bible is contrary to the Law and to reason; besides, my knowledge of them is based on reasoning, not on divine inspiration. I have not received my belief in this respect from any teacher, but it has been formed by what I learnt from Scripture and the utterances of our Sages, and by the philosophical principles which I have adopted. ... I ask you to study attentively the chapters which follow on this sublime, important, and grand subject, which is the pin upon which everything hangs, and the pillar upon which everything rests." Translated by Michael Friedländer who was principal of Jews' College.
