Guide for the Perplexed (Moreh Nevukhim) is a seminal philosophical and theological work by the medieval Jewish philosopher and rabbi Moses Maimonides, also known as Rambam. It addresses the conflicts between religious tradition and rational philosophy, aiming to reconcile Jewish scripture with Aristotelian philosophy.
The primary purpose of the Guide for the Perplexed is to provide clarity and guidance to intellectually sophisticated Jews who are troubled by apparent contradictions between the teachings of Judaism and the findings of reason and philosophy. Maimonides seeks to resolve these conflicts and demonstrate that the truths of Judaism can be harmonized with rational thought.
The Guide for the Perplexed has had a profound influence on Jewish thought, medieval philosophy, and scholasticism. It has been studied and commented upon extensively by Jewish, Christian, and Muslim scholars. Its rationalist approach to theology and its efforts to harmonize faith with reason continue to be relevant in contemporary discussions on religion and philosophy.
