Book, On the Path of Reason: Philosophy and Science in the Jewish Medieval[LS]

In a compendium of the history of philosophy, Rosalie Helena de Souza Pereira organizes 'Na Senda da Razão', which aims, above all, to bring to light Jewish philosophy, or even, the knowledge originating between the 9th and 15th centuries, which for a long time time remained shadowed by Greco-Roman thought. The publication features essays by notable academics who provide a dense and critical analysis of the main works, thinkers and currents of medieval Jewish philosophical and scientific thought, and their consequences and influences for today's world. Coming from predominantly Islamic regions, medieval Jewish philosophy was discredited and little explored, considered a faithful reproduction of Arabic philosophy, which in turn was understood as a reinterpretation of Greco-Roman treaties. They coincide due to geography and intertwining of themes focused on the need to defend and substantiate belief and faith, but they differ due to the desire to decipher great mysteries common to humanity. In a vast collection of themes, medieval Jewish philosophy transcends the science/religion duo and reaches the most varied, from poetics, politics and legislation, to chemistry, astronomy and alchemy, in addition to restoring all Greco-Roman production through unprecedented eyes. .'
