Gersonides: A Portrait of a Fourteenth-Century Philosopher-Scientist
Glasner, Ruth (Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
Gersonides was a highly original Jewish philosopher, scientist, and biblical exegete, active in Provence in the first half of the fourteenth century. Ruth Glasner explores his impressive achievements, and argues that the key to understanding his originality is his perspective as an applied mathematical scientist.
