he medieval intellectual culture is a vast landscape inhabited by towering minds like Moses Maimonides. Maimonides was a complex and prolific intellectual figure. As a Jewish scholar, he was conversant in Arabic, Hebrew and Aramaic languages and was well at home with intellectual skirmishes with his Jewish and Islamic counterparts. The range of Maimonides’ i ntellectual depth and breadth cannot be overstated as shown by his impact on the writings and debates which shaped the cultural atmosphere of Europe in the 12 th and 13 th centuries. This book presents a way to critically engage the medieval thinker from various perspectives over a span of 14 chapters (an introduction and 13 essays) that comprise this opus. In his portrait of Maimonides, Herbert A. Davidson (“Maimonides and the Almohads”) depicted the Jewish thinker as a mind well steeped in the writings of Averroes, Avicenna as well as al-Ghazali not to mention the well revered Corpus Aristotelicum . Very much like Aristotle himself, Maimonides was a person whose fascination with science was matched only by his passion for and interest on other cerebral pursuits. This he displayed at a very tender age leading to a career dedicated to learning medicine, mathematics, and astronomy along with the studies of the Jewish religious and legal texts. Among his very early works which sealed his scholarly reputation were the Book of Commandments and the Misneh Torah . An important aspect of Maimonides’ oeuvre was the ease and seamless maneuver with which he moved from theology to philosophy and other secular sciences. His magnum opus, Guide of the Perplexed is the best demonstration of this intellectual dexterity. Maimonides viewed the relationship between theology and other disciplines, especially, philosophy, in terms of their organic unity, a position he shared with the almohads, his purported influencers. 2 The close affinity between Maimonides
中世纪的知识文化是一片广阔的土地,居住着像摩西·迈蒙尼德这样的伟人。迈蒙尼德是一位复杂而多产的知识分子。作为一名犹太学者,他精通阿拉伯语、希伯来语和阿拉姆语,在与犹太教和伊斯兰教同行的智力冲突中也游刃有馀。迈蒙尼德的知识的深度和广度不能被夸大,因为他对12和13世纪欧洲文化氛围形成的著作和辩论的影响。这本书提出了一种方法,从不同的角度批判地参与中世纪思想家在跨度的14章(一个介绍和13篇文章),包括这个作品。赫伯特·a·戴维森(Herbert a . Davidson)在《迈蒙尼德和阿莫哈德》(Maimonides and the Almohads)一书中,将这位犹太思想家描绘成一个沉浸在阿威罗、阿维森纳和al-Ghazali著作中的人,更不用说备受尊敬的亚里士多德了。与亚里士多德本人非常相似,迈蒙尼德对科学的迷恋与他对其他脑力活动的热情和兴趣相匹配。他在很小的时候就表现出了这一点,这使得他的职业生涯致力于学习医学、数学和天文学,同时研究犹太宗教和法律文本。在他早期的著作中,确立了他的学术声誉的是《诫命书》和《密西尼托拉》。迈蒙尼德作品的一个重要方面是他从神学转向哲学和其他世俗科学的轻松和无缝的操作。他的巨著《迷途指南》是这种智力灵巧的最好展示。迈蒙尼德认为神学和其他学科之间的关系,尤其是哲学,是有机统一的,他和所谓影响他的almohads持同样的观点。迈蒙尼德之间的亲密关系

One of the prevailing agenda of philosophical discourse and inquiry in the Philippine academe is to problematize the existence and status of Filipino philosophy. Filipino professors of philosophy have claimed that the existence of Filipino philosophy is already answered and no longer a legitimate subject of debate. However, the “answer” that ultimately puts this question to rest remains ambiguous. My objective in this paper is to provide an account of this ambiguity and to go through the two pathological responses towards the problem of Filipino Philosophy, namely, (1) the nostalgia for an “authentic” Filipino essence and (2) the culture of philosophy-consumption. The paper consists of three sections: (1) a critique of Abulad’s diachronic schematization of Filipino philosophy, (2) a critique of Mercado’s attempt to salvage the project of indigenization in his short essay Reflections on the Status of Filipino Philosophy, and (3) a critique of the culture of philosophy-consumption through a return to the problems identified by Emerita Quito in The State of Philosophy in the Philippines and an examination of F. P. A. Demeterio III’s taxonomy of Filipino philosophy.
