With respect to each of these issues, Kellner shows that Maimonides adopted positions that reflected his emphasis on nurture over nature and his insistence that it is intellectual perfection and not ethnic affiliation which is crucial.Jewish philosophyPhilosophy, MedievalJewish philosophy.Philosophy, Medieval.296.1/72Kellner Menachem Marc1946-1620498MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910958677203321Maimonides on Judaism and the Jewish people4345750UNINA
