The Problem of Space in Jewish Mediaeval Philosophy [Columbia University Oriental Studies, Vol. XI]

Dubuque, Iowa: Wm. C. Brown Reprint Library, ND. Reprint. Hardcover. Octavo. [10], 125, [3]pp. Original blue cloth with gold lettering on spine. A study on how medieval Jewish philosophers such as Maimonides and Gersonides understood the concept of space. This issue was important to medieval philosophy in general because it conceived of God and angels as spiritual beings, unconnected to matter. This led to a problem as how such non-physical beings could interact with the world as they did not even take up any space in it. This issue has come down to modern culture in the form of the question: “how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?” Binding in overall good+, interior in very good condition. vg. Item #31982
