"#JosephAlbo: Collected #Writings, #edited by #ShiraWeiss, is an important and welcome contribution to the study of #medieval #Jewish #philosophy, making the thought of the #Spaniard Joseph #Albo (1380-1444) newly accessible to contemporary readers.

Bringing together a full presentation of #Sefer #haIkkarim along with Albo’s lesser-known responsum, this volume offers both breadth and depth, illuminating a thinker often overshadowed by figures like #Maimonides (1138-1204) and his own teacher, #HasdaiCrescas (1340-1410/11). The #book is 1753 pages long, and contains the original #Hebrew on the left-hand pages and an easy-to-read modern #English #translation on the right.

Albo’s approach to #Judaism diverged from Maimonides ‘ emphasis on rationalism. He was influenced by #Crescas, who emphasized faith and the observance of #mitzvot (divine commands), an easier form of Judaism than the rigors of Maimonides’ rationalism."

Quick commerce and Indian politics have more in common than you’d think. Both had incumbents who dismissed a disruptive model, then quietly adopted it. Wrote about it on my new blogpost.
