      The Guide for the Perplexed is the literary masterpiece of Moses Maimonides, perhaps the greatest Jewish thinker of the Middle Ages if not of all time. Historically crucial, it conveys the rationalism of Aristotle's philosophy from medieval scholars to Christian theologians such Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas. This work is one of the rare jewels of world spiritual literature, a profound statement of man's relation to himself, to God, and to society. It offers modern readers, like their medieval predecessors, a stiff challenge: Do you have the tenacity to penetrate the interrelated paradoxes of The Guide for the Perplexed , the mind, and the universe in order to join the fortunate few who have glimpsed the ultimate truth of existence?
