This book offers the first survey of philosophical pedagogy in Jewish culture during the Middle Ages, with a focus on Northern France, the Provence, Italy and Spain. By examining not only the discourse of renowned philosophers such as Maimonides and Gersonides, but also oft-neglected manuscript evidence of educational practices and students' notes, the book offers a nuanced understanding of the medieval Jewish intellectual landscape and shows how Jewish educators brought intricate debates on metaphysics, ethics, and epistemology into the classroom. The book also sheds light on the broader societal and cultural contexts that influenced these philosophical pursuits. An essential read for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, Jewish studies, or medieval intellectual culture, this book celebrates the enduring legacy of Jewish philosophical thought and its pivotal role in shaping the intellectual currents of the Middle Ages.
