Course Description

This four-week mini course will introduce some of the major Jewish thinkers and schools of thought from the tenth through the fifteenth century, which was the "golden age" of Jewish philosophy and mysticism. Emphasis will be on dominant themes, such as cosmology, prophecy, providence, the nature of man, and immortality of the soul, but literary form and cultural context will also be considered. Jewish thinkers will be introduced in relation to their historical periods and in light of parallel developments in Islamic and Christian thought. All readings will be available as pdf files on Canvas.
