{"product_id":"studies-on-gersonides-9789004096417","title":"Studies on Gersonides","description":"R. Levi ben Gershom (Gersonides, 1288-1344) is one of the greatest and most original figures of Medieval Jewish thought. He wrote numerous works in philosophy, science and biblical exegesis. Some of his scientific works, most notably his highly innovative \u003ci\u003eAstronomy\u003c\/i\u003e, were translated from Hebrew into Latin and could thus reach non-Jewish scholars.\u003cbr\u003eThe twelve studies collected in this bilingual volume (English and French in equal parts) offer for the first time a comprehensive overview and assessment of Gersonides' work in astronomy, mathematics, logic, natural science, and psychology.\u003cbr\u003eGersonides' contributions are analyzed within the context of contemporary philosophy and science in Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin. New light is also shed on the reception of Gersonides' work within European science.\u003cbr\u003eThe volume includes a very extensive bibliography of writings by and about Gersonides.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the contents\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003cbr\u003ePart I: Gersonides' Astronomy: Bernard R.
