And now for something completely different - a historical talk regarding a medieval Jewish philosopher, or perhaps I should say the leading medieval Jewish philosopher, and his thought regarding issues relating to bioethics. Moses Maimonides was born in 1138 in Cordoba Spain, and died in 1204 in Cairo Egypt, where he lived for most of his life. He was buried by his own request in Tiberias in the Land of Israel. He is truly one of the most exceptional individuals in Jewish history. He attained a position as a physician in the royal court, he became the leader of the Egyptian Jewish community, he compiled the first complete code of Jewish law, entitled the Mishneh Torah, and as a result is recognized to this day as one of the all-time greatest legal authorities in the history of Judaism, and he wrote a treatise in Jewish philosophy, the Guide of the Perplexed, which many consider to be the greatest work in Jewish philosophy ever written, and which continues to exert its influence to the present day - quite an achievement for one individual. |
