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. 606 $aJewish philosophy 606 $aPhilosophy, Medieval 615 0$aJewish philosophy. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Medieval. 676 $a296.1/72 700 $aKellner$b Menachem Marc$f1946-$01620498 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958677203321 996 $aMaimonides on Judaism and the Jewish people$94345750 997 $aUNINA
