Moses And The Philosophers In Three Parts

''Moses and the Philosophers in Three Parts: Part Two, The Moral Problem'' is a book written by Stephen Alexander Hodgman. This book is the second part of the three-part series that explores the relationship between Moses and the philosophers. In this book, Hodgman delves into the moral problem that arises when we try to reconcile the teachings of Moses with the philosophical ideas of ancient Greece. The book begins by examining the moral teachings of Moses, as outlined in the Ten Commandments and other biblical texts. Hodgman then goes on to explore the philosophical ideas of Plato, Aristotle, and other Greek philosophers, and how these ideas differ from those of Moses. Hodgman argues that there is a fundamental tension between the moral teachings of Moses and the philosophical ideas of ancient Greece. While Moses emphasizes the importance of obedience to God’s laws, the Greeks prioritize reason and the pursuit of knowledge. This tension, Hodgman argues, has had a profound impact on Western civilization and continues to shape our moral and ethical beliefs today. Throughout the book, Hodgman provides a nuanced and thought-provoking analysis of the moral problem that arises when we try to reconcile the teachings of Moses with the ideas of the ancient Greek philosophers. He draws on a wide range of sources, including biblical texts, philosophical treatises, and historical accounts, to support his arguments. Overall, ''Moses and the Philosophers in Three Parts: Part Two, The Moral Problem'' is a compelling and insightful exploration of one of the most enduring philosophical and moral debates in Western civilization. It will appeal to anyone interested in the intersection of religion, 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.
