The Guide for the Perplexed: Part Two

For nearly a thousand years, seekers have turned to Moses Maimonides when faith and reason seem to conflict. The Guide for the Perplexed: Part Two takes up the most challenging questions of existence: How do we speak of a God beyond physical form? Did the universe have a beginning, or is it eternal? What is prophecy, and how does it work? In this modern-English edition, the philosopher’s careful, rational arguments are made accessible without losing their depth or reverence. Maimonides leads the reader through Aristotelian science, biblical interpretation, and deep reflection on divine unity — not to give easy answers, but to train the mind in honest inquiry. Here, perplexity becomes a path, not a dead end. Part of The Modern Wisdom Library.
