About this audiobook

Maimonides, also known as Rabbi Moses ben Maimon, was a medieval Jewish philosopher, physician, and scholar whose works bridged the worlds of religion and reason. Born in 1138 in Córdoba, Spain, Maimonides faced persecution but rose to prominence as a leader in Jewish thought and an adviser to rulers. This biography delves into his profound contributions, such as Guide for the Perplexed, which reconciles Aristotelian philosophy with Jewish theology, and his codification of Jewish law in Mishneh Torah. Maimonides’ insights into ethics, medicine, and metaphysics made him a universal thinker whose influence extends to Christianity and Islam. His legacy as a scholar and healer exemplifies the integration of faith, reason, and science, providing timeless guidance for navigating the complexities of life.
