Written by a 12th-century thinker who was equally active as\u003cbr\u003ean original philosopher and as a Biblical and Talmudic scholar, it is both a\u003cbr\u003eclassic of great historical importance and a work of living significance\u003cbr\u003etoday.\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Guide for the Perplexed\u003c\/i\u003e was written for scholars who were\u003cbr\u003ebewildered by the conflict between religion and the scientific and\u003cbr\u003ephilosophic thought of the day. It is concerned, basically, with finding a\u003cbr\u003econcord between the religion of the Old Testament and its commen-\u003cbr\u003etaries, and Aristotelian philosophy. After analyzing the ideas of the Old\u003cbr\u003eTestament by means of \"homonyms\" Maimonides examines other\u003cbr\u003ereconciliations of religion and philosophy (the Moslem rationalists) and\u003cbr\u003ethen proposes his own resolution with contemporary Aristotelianism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Guide for the Perplexed\u003c\/i\u003e was at once recognized as a masterwork,\u003cbr\u003eand it strongly influenced Jewish, Christian, and Moslem thought of the\u003cbr\u003eMiddle Ages.
