God's Attributes and Negative Theology

Maimonides arguably was the greatest philosopher of the twelfth century. Today, Rabbi Rocklin will help us unpack his legacy and address the following questions:

1. Why was Maimonides' codification of Jewish law so monumental? How did his system of codification diverge from the Talmud?
2. How did Maimonides' Guide to the Perplexed help push western philosophy forward?
3. Why was The Guide to the Perplexed banned by some Jewish rabbis? Why was the ban ultimately lifted?
