Abstract

This article continues the discussion on medieval Jewish philosophy in Arabic. The account begins with the death of Maimonides in 1204, and with the emergence of Hebrew at about that time as the language of philosophy among the Jews. Many post-Maimonidean Jewish philosophers were the true inheritors of the tradition of Aristotelian falsafa, which was inaugurated by al-Fārābī at the beginning of the tenth century and which came to an abrupt end in Islam with the death of Averroes in 1198. The article examines the philosophical and theological discussions on creation, free will, determinism, and God's knowledge of particulars.
