Moses Maimonides
Acerca de esta escucha
The Guide for the Perplexed (Hebrew: Moreh Nevukhim) is one of the greatest philosophical works of all time. A classic of great historical importance, it remains a work of living significance today.
The Guide for the Perplexed is one of the three major works of Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon (1135/8 - 1204), also known as Maimonides or the Rambam.
Written for those who were bewildered by the conflict between religion and scientific and philosophic ideas, The Guide for the Perplexed is concerned with finding a concord between the text of the Old Testament and its commentaries, and Aristotelian philosophy. After analyzing the ideas of the Old Testament, Maimonides examines other reconciliations of religion and philosophy like the Moslem rationalists and then offers his own resolution with Aristotelianism.
The Guide was immediately recognized as a masterpiece, and is essential for any proper understanding of the work of scholastics like Aquinas and Scotus. The Guide is indispensable for everyone interested in the Middle Ages, Judaism, medieval philosophy, or the larger problems which Maimonides addresses.

Aryeh Kaplan's landmark work reveals the methodology of the ancient Kabbalists and stresses the meditative techniques that were essential to their discipline, including:

When properly understood, Sefer Yetzirah becomes the instruction manual for a very special type of meditation meant to strengthen concentration and to aid the development of telekinetic and telepathic powers.

The awe, admiration, and even fear it has evoked over the years are unsurpassed. This book contains the secrets of the whole of creation, but until recently these secrets were shrouded in a cloud of mystery and misconceptions. Now The Zohar is openly unfolding its wisdom throughout the world, to show humanity a way forward.

The classic work by Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto, one of the modern-day sages of Jewish literature. This work is universally studied across all sectors of Jewish learning and is indisputably recognized as the foremost work in Jewish ethics and self-improvement. In the author's own words: "I have written this work not to teach men what they do not know, but to remind them of what they already know and is very evident to them, for you will find in most of my words only things which most people know, and concerning which they entertain no doubts."

Among the many important historical documents from the Classical world of Greece and Rome The Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus is one of the most distinctive and characterful. Josephus (37-c100 CE) set out with the clear purpose of telling the history of the Jews from the creation in Genesis to the Jewish revolt against the Romans in 66 CE. Born in Jerusalem as Yosef ben Matityahu, he rose to become a leading participant in the First Jewish Revolt (66-73 CE).

Though it first aroused anger and controversy rather than admiration and acceptance, A Theologico-Political Treatise was a landmark in the analysis of theology (with particular reference to the Bible and its Jewish and Christian interpretations) and its relationship to philosophy and politics. Spinoza’s scholarly analysis, based on careful study, demonstrated that the Bible was composed by many writers over the centuries - and that even the Pentateuch, the first five books, were not the work of Moses, as was generally assumed at the time.

The Summa Theologica, by Thomas Aquinas, is a fundamental text in Catholic doctrine, a compendium of theology that has been studied and debated since its first publication in the 13th century. Furthermore, it has been widely regarded as one of the classics of Western philosophy, not least because, perhaps for the first time in such a systematic manner, it set out to consider the views of non-Christian figures such as Aristotle, Boethius, Muslim writers including Averroes (Ibn Rushd) and Avicenna (Ibn Sina) and the Sephardic Jewish scholar Maimonides.

However, Paine's position is not one of atheism, and he begins the book with a declaration of faith in one god.

Filled with hopeful symbolism, You Shall Be as Gods shows how the Old Testament and its tradition is an inspiring ode to human potential.

Published in 1651, Leviathan is considered to be one of the most important works of political philosophy and a major contribution to the modern idea of central government. In the mid-17th century, England was going through a turbulent time of change and unrest, which likely shaped Hobbes' ideas on strong government. Thomas Hobbes established the social contract theory. He believed that self-government did not create the ideal state due to the human tendency to be self-serving, something he believed would eventually lead to chaos.

Historia
Written between A.D. 413 and 426, The City of God is one of the great cornerstones in the history of Christian thought, a book which is vital to the understanding of modern Western society. Augustine originally intended it to be an apology for Christianity against the accusation that the Church was responsible for the decline of the Roman Empire, which had occurred just three years earlier. Indeed, Augustine produced a great amount of evidence to prove that paganism was responsible for this event. However, by the time the work was finished, the book had taken on a larger theme.

Historia
In My Religion, Leo Tolstoy accuses the church of hiding the true meaning of Jesus, which is to be found in the Sermon on the Mount and the call to resist evil. For Tolstoy, it is this command that has been most damaged by ecclesiastical interpretation. Tolstoy had not always been possessed of the religious ideas set forth in My Religion. For 35 years of his life, he was, in the proper acceptation of the word, a nihilist - not a revolutionary socialist but a man who believed in nothing.

John Locke and his works - particularly An Essay Concerning Human Understanding - are regularly and rightly presented as foundations for the Age of Enlightenment. His primary epistemological message - that the mind at birth is a blank sheet waiting to be filled by the experiences of the senses - complemented his primary political message: that human beings are free and equal and have the right to envision, create and direct the governments that rule them and the societies within which they live.

Gateway to Unity and Faith is one of the clearest and most enduring works on the meaning of "G-d is one" from a Chasidic point of view. Through carefully reading traditional texts, the author radically reimagines the meaning of Jewish Monotheism and imparts a sense of nearness and direct accessibility to G-d, beyond the confines of religious practice. Volume Two is a complete and independent work which stands on its own and does not require the prior study of Volume One.

A Guide for us all.
Guide for the Perplexed, written by the medieval Jewish philosopher Moses Maimonides in the late 12th century, is a towering work of religious philosophy that seeks to reconcile faith with reason. Originally composed in Arabic under the title Dalālat al-ḥā’irīn, it was later translated into Hebrew and other languages, gaining a wide audience across religious traditions. The book is framed as a letter to a student grappling with the apparent contradictions between biblical scripture and the rational inquiry of Aristotelian philosophy. Its central aim is to guide those “perplexed” by these tensions toward a deeper, more coherent understanding of God.
When it comes to understanding God, Guide for the Perplexed is both profound and challenging. Maimonides doesn’t offer a simple, devotional portrait of the divine. Instead, he dives into a rigorous intellectual exploration, emphasizing God’s absolute transcendence and unknowability. He argues that human language and concepts fall short of capturing God’s true nature, advocating for a “negative theology”—where we define God more by what He is not (e.g., not corporeal, not limited) than by what He is. This approach can be incredibly enlightening for readers seeking a philosophically grounded perspective, but it might feel abstract or unsatisfying to those craving a more personal or emotional connection to the divine.
The book shines in its methodical dismantling of anthropomorphic interpretations of scripture. Maimonides insists that descriptions of God “speaking” or “walking” in the Torah are metaphorical, meant to accommodate human understanding rather than reflect literal truths. His exegesis is meticulous, drawing on Jewish tradition, Greek philosophy, and Islamic thought (particularly influences like Al-Farabi and Avicenna). For someone wrestling with how to square a rational worldview with religious texts, this is where the Guide excels—it provides a framework that respects both scripture and logic.
That said, it’s not an easy read. Maimonides wrote for an educated elite, assuming familiarity with biblical texts, Talmudic scholarship, and Aristotelian metaphysics. Modern readers without that background might find it dense or esoteric, especially in sections dissecting prophecy or divine attributes. The layered structure—where he sometimes veils his true meaning to avoid unsettling less sophisticated believers—can also make it feel elusive. You’re forced to peel back the layers, which is rewarding if you’re patient but frustrating if you’re not.
On understanding God, I’d rate it highly for its intellectual depth and originality—let’s say an 8.5 out of 10. It’s not a devotional work that brings you closer to God through feeling or worship, but it’s unmatched in clarifying the limits of human comprehension and pushing you to think critically about the divine. Its strength lies in its ability to provoke awe through reason rather than mysticism. If you’re a seeker who enjoys wrestling with big ideas and doesn’t mind a slow, deliberate pace, it’s a classic worth your time. Just don’t expect it to hand you simple answers—it’s more about teaching you how to ask better questions.

The Narration pales in comparison with the content, through no fault of the intrepid and knowledgeable reader however I am glad to see this work read in an accessable and approachable method. As pleasurable as it can be to read such a work on paper, the thoughts can be easier to digest and to ponder when you hear them in a voice other than your own. It's a work that rewards rereading, and a fresh format like this for a timelessly compelling bit of writing; that readers should have a firmly established background of study before they approach this work doesn't diminish appreciation of this work; it amplifies it!

Great read, tough narration.
Not for the casual reader. But if you want to understand God from a Jewish perspective, this is the ticket. The narrator speaks the Queen's English. Combine that with some older language styling and it can be a tough listen at times, but well worth the investment of your time.

can’t believe I found this on an audiobook
I was told to approach this book like a very very long poem and it truly paid off - the author gives insights as to how the language of Hebraic law would have been perceived when it was written, over a thousand years ago. And posits over and over the idea that god can only be truly known by years and years of study - but occasionally there are glimpses at what you can experience of god in your life, especially where the author describes what is meant on several levels by various Hebrew words used in the Pentatuech. I am happy to feel accomplished by making it to the end! 30 hours! The narrator pronounces the word “Israelites” in such a charming way, among other little poetic listening details.., not for the casual reader, I agree, - but I could never have made it through the written version of this on my own. And I own a copy!

Errors Need Revision
I very much enjoyed this audiobook, often following along with a hardcopy. The narration is good for the most part. An elegant high English accent lends a softer but no-nonsense voice to the material. However...there is a consistent and unignorable mispronunciation of the words Israelites to "IsrealITIES" as well as Levites to "LevITIES". As you can suppose these words occur with much regularity. This could have been easily corrected and it should have been.
