The Guide of the Perplexed, written in Arabic by Moses Maimonides (1138-1204), is the most influential book in medieval Jewish philosophy. It was the last great work in the Arabic Aristotelian traditon founded by the Muslim philosopher Alfarabi. It had a decisive influence on future Jewish philosophers, including Spinoza; and also had a deep impact on Christian philosophers, like Aquinas. It is a difficult but enchanting book, composed in the form of a puzzle. We shall read together Maiminides' Guide against the background of Greek, Hebrew, and Arabic thought, and try to unravel its secrets.

Six major concepts of political philosophy including authority, rights, equality, justice, liberty and democracy are examined in three different ways. First the conceptual issues are analyzed through contemporary essays on these topics by authors like Peters, Hart, Williams, Berlin, Rawls and Schumpeter. Second the classical sources on these topics are discussed through readings from Hobbes, Locke, Hume, Marx, Plato, Mill and Rousseau. Third some attention is paid to relevant contexts of application of these concepts in political society, including such political movements as anarchism, international human rights, conservative, liberal, and Marxist economic policies as well as competing models of democracy.
