Signed autograph in Hebrew! The legacy of Maimonides. By Ben Zion Bokser. 1950. - The legacy of Maimonides - By Ben Zion Bokser. New York : Philosophical Library, 1950. ix pp., 128 pp. Hardcover. 23.5 cm., very few stains.  Facsimile. The book is a concise and accessible philosophical study that examines the enduring relevance of Rabbi Moses ben Maimon (Maimonides/Rambam) for the modern era. Published in the mid-20th century, Bokser’s work contextualizes Maimonides not merely as a medieval codifier and scholastic, but as a timeless thinker who successfully harmonized the apparent contradictions between scientific reason and religious faith. The monograph traces how Maimonides utilized Aristotelian philosophy to purify religious concepts from anthropomorphism, while simultaneously defending the limits of human intellect when confronted with divine mystery. Ultimately, Bokser argues that Maimonides' true legacy is his synthesis of intellectual liberty and deep religious commitment, offering a vital blueprint for modern believers striving to balance rigorous critical thought with authentic spiritual tradition.
