Publication Date: 2008
Edition Details: Part of a forum: Maimonides on the Knowability of the Heavens and of Their Mover (Guide 2:24)
Language: English

Maimonides' statement about the limits of our intellect with regard to the causes of things in the sublunar world in Guide 3:23 strikingly parallels his statement about their limits with regard to the causes of the heavens in 2:24.50 If the latter is controversial, how much more so the former. Maimonides' critical epistemology obtains not only in physics as well as in metaphysics, but also on earth as well as in the heavens.
