Question

The author of Phaedon was part of an 18th-century enlightenment named for this language’s word for “education.” A treatise in this language’s script compares assigning properties to the divine to talking about winged (20[1])underwater elephants in an argument that God can only be described by (*) negative attributes. For undermining holy texts written in this language, a lens-grinder was expelled from his Amsterdam community in 1656. The religion that uses this language is reconciled with Aristotelianism in The Guide for the Perplexed. For 10 points, name this language of the religion of Baruch Spinoza and Moses Maimonides. ■END■
