Comments/contents: The general theme of the lecture series in 2018 will be Reason and Revelation in Jewish Tradition (Vernunft und Offenbarung in der jüdischen Tradition). The lectures shall introduce Jewish thought to the general public and expose the relation between reason and revelation in specific Jewish writings. The lectures will revolve around the following questions: Under which circumstances can we speak of reason in the framework of Judaism? Can we erroneously read reason into the sources of heavenly revelation? How can the presupposition of reason/ ratio be justified by Jewish thinkers and be deduced from traditional Jewish sources? Does reason concur with faith or are they exclusive epistomological spheres?

We will have speakers, who are either fellows at the Maimonides Centre or faculty staff at the Institute, all presenting their research on aspects of Jewish thought, philosophy, theology and mysticism.
