Bachya, The Jewish Thomas A Kempis: A Chapter In The History Of Jewish Ethics is a book written by Joseph Herman Hertz and originally published in 1898. The book explores the life and teachings of Bachya ben Joseph ibn Paquda, a medieval Jewish philosopher and author of the influential ethical work Duties of the Heart. Hertz compares Bachya to Thomas A Kempis, a Christian monk and author of The Imitation of Christ, and argues that Bachya's work had a similar impact on Jewish ethical thought. The book provides a detailed analysis of Bachya's ideas and their historical context, as well as a discussion of his influence on later Jewish thinkers. Overall, Bachya, The Jewish Thomas A Kempis is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Jewish philosophy and ethics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
