PREZENTACE KNIHYTAMÁS VISI: PHILOSOPHERS ON THE PERIPHERY OF ASHKENAZ
1. 4. 2026 | 17:00 HODIN | Knihovna CJS, tř. Svobody 26, 1. patro, uč. 2.36.
Moses Maimonides (1138–1204) had many followers among Jews living in the Mediterranean Basin, but his philosophical books were almost totally ignored by Ashkenazi Jews. Yet, the eastern periphery of Ashkenaz was an exception: in the late fourteenth century a circle of veritable philosophers emerged in the Jewish community in Prague and existed until the end of the Hussite wars (ca. 1434). This book analyses the works of the Jewish society using Max Weber´s sociology and Marc Richir´s phenomenology.
Tamás Visi, Ph.D. (2006) is an associate professor of Jewish Studies at Palacký University Olomouc. He has published many articles on medieval Jewish intellectual history and co-edited Berechiah Ben Natronai Ha-Naqdan´s Works and Their Reception (Brepols, 2019).
