About
This is a revision of predominant understanding of the philosophers Maimonides and Spinoza. It was agreed that Maimonides was a great defender of Judaism, and Spinoza an Enlightenment advocate for secularization. A new scholarly consensus has recently emerged that the teachings of the two philosophers were in fact much closer than was thought.
