Ethical Writings of Maimonides

The Ethical Writings of Maimonides gathers the moral works of Moses Maimonides (1138-1204), the Cordoba-born physician and the greatest Jewish philosopher of the Middle Ages. Here are the Eight Chapters, his introduction to the Ethics of the Fathers, the Laws of the Ethical Dispositions, and related texts in which he fuses Aristotle with Torah into a doctrine of the balanced soul. Maimonides shaped Jewish thought permanently and influenced Aquinas; these short works are the most accessible door into his teaching. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
