Plot

an exposition of the provocative and important world view of the late Yeshayahu Leibowitz, but falls short as a comprehensive interpretaion of Maimonides. The readings of Maimonides are (at best) controversial, do not add up to a systematic analysis of Maimonidean thought. Leibowitz gives no hint of how his interpretation fits into the large body of Maimonidean studies, and the book can not therefore serve as an introduction to the thought of the greatest Jewish thinker ever.
