Noachism and Philosophy
Lemler, David
Noachism and Philosophy - 2011.
1
Aiming at denying the very possibility of a Jewish philosophy, Spinoza quotes, in his Theologico-Political Treatise, a particularly restrictive interpretation by Maimonides of the Noahide laws, a universalistic and rationalist institution within rabbinical Judaism. In this article, I propose a study of the paradoxically conjoined attempts at rehabilitating the philosophic figure of Maimonides and a universalistic comprehension of noahism made by M. Mendelssohn and H. Cohen, in their endeavor to rebuild a Jewish philosophy after Spinoza.
