Afterword. 330 $aThis book reveals how Moses ibn Ezra, Judah Halevi, Moses Maimonides, and Shem Tov ibn Falaquera understood metaphor and imagination, and their role in the way human beings describe God. It demonstrates how these medieval Jewish thinkers engaged with Arabic-Aristotelian psychology, specifically with regard to imagination and its role in cognition. Dianna Lynn Roberts-Zauderer reconstructs the process by which metaphoric language is taken up by the imagination and the role of imagination in rational thought. If imagination is a necessary component of thinking, how is Maimonides? idea of pure intellectual thought possible? An examination of select passages in the Guide, in both Judeo-Arabic and translation, shows how Maimonides? attitude towards imagination develops, and how translations contribute to a bifurcation of reason and imagination that does not acknowledge the nuances of the original text. Finally, the author shows how Falaquera?s poetics forges a new direction for thinking about imagination. . 606 $aMedieval philosophy 606 $aJudaism?Doctrines 606 $aLiterature, Medieval 606 $aMedieval Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E17000 606 $aJewish Theology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A6010 606 $aMedieval Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/818000 615 0$aMedieval philosophy. 615 0$aJudaism?Doctrines. 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval. 615 14$aMedieval Philosophy. 615 24$aJewish Theology. 615 24$aMedieval Literature. 676 $a121 676 $a809.02 700 $aRoberts-Zauderer$b Dianna Lynn$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0891606 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910364947103321 996 $aMetaphor and Imagination in Medieval Jewish Thought$91991442 997 $aUNINA
