It presents a critical, up-to-date analysis of Santob de Carrión, also known as Sem Tob, a writer and thinker whose philosophy arose in the Spain of the three great cultures: Jews, Christians, and Muslims, who then coexisted in peace. The author first presents a historical and cultural introduction that provides biographical detail as well as context for a greater understand of Santob's philosophy. Next, the book offers a dialogue with the work itself, which looks at politics, sociology, anthropology, psychology, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics, and theodicy. The aim is not to provide an exhaustive analysis, or to comment on each and every verse, but rather to deal only with the most relevant for today?s world. Readers will discover how Santob believed knowledge must be dynamic, and tolerance fundamental, fleeing from dogma, since one cannot avoid a significant dose of moral and aesthetic relativism. Subjectivity, within its own codes, must seek a profound ethics, not puritanical but which serves to escape from general ill will. Santob offers a criticism of wealth and power that does not serve the people which appears to be totally relevant today. In spite of the fame he achieved in his own time, Santob has largely remained a vestige of the past. By the end of this book, readers will come to see why this important figure deserves to be more widely studied. Indeed, not only has this medieval Spanish philosopher searched for truth in an unstable, confused world of contradictions, but he has done so in a way that can still help us today. 410 0$aPhilosophical Studies Series,$x2542-8349 ;$v127 606 $aPhilosophy$xHistory 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x476-1492 606 $aJudaism and culture 606 $aPhilosophy, Medieval 606 $aEthnology$xEurope 606 $aCulture 606 $aHistory of Philosophy 606 $aHistory of Medieval Europe 606 $aJewish Cultural Studies 606 $aMedieval Philosophy 606 $aEuropean Culture 615 0$aPhilosophy$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x476-1492. 615 0$aJudaism and culture. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Medieval. 615 0$aEthnology$xEurope. 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aHistory of Philosophy. 615 24$aHistory of Medieval Europe. 615 24$aJewish Cultural Studies. 615 24$aMedieval Philosophy. 615 24$aEuropean Culture. 676 $a180-190 700 $aGalán Díez$b Ilia$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0916980 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255215103321 996 $aThe Birth of Thought in the Spanish Language$92055804 997 $aUNINA
