Question

A controversy incited by translations of this book, such as an illustrated one named for Copenhagen, included a ban on this book in Montpellier. This book’s proofs of several root-principles are criticized in the book Light of the Lord which, like another author’s The Wars of the Lord, is structured in response to this book. This book addresses the “true science of the law” esoterically rather than exoterically according to an essay on its (15[1])“Literary Character” by (*) Leo (10[1])Strauss. This book discusses 26 metaphysical propositions (-5[1])used to prove (-5[1])God’s existence, of which it disputes only the eternity of the universe. This book, written as a letter to the author’s student Joseph, (10[1])includes a long critique of (10[1])kalam and claims that God can only be described via negative statements. For 10 points, name this book that seeks to unify Aristotelian and Jewish thought, written by Maimonides. (10[1])■END■ (10[1])
