Josh Parens joins Alex and Greg to discuss his recently released book, <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Maimonidess-Guide-Obstacles-Knowledge-Action/dp/0881469637"> Maimonides’s Guide on Obstacles to Knowledge, Being, and Action</a>. Parens elaborates on a bold interpretation of Maimonides’s Guide of the Perplexed that highlights how the philosopher uses “obstacles” to structure his defense of law, prophecy, and providence. This episode delves into Parens’ middle-ground reading, reframing skeptical and dogmatic extremes as intentionally vague limits that safeguard both revelation and philosophical reason.
