Though I criticized the book (see essay on my site), I still think it the greatest American work of philosophy of the 20th century.
Scott Alexander - Just curious. What is it about this work that you consider it “ the greatest American work of philosophy of the 20th century”?

Scott Alexander - In answer, see what I wrote about the book in my recently written “Commentators Preface” to my volume of essays on each chapter of the Guide, where I discuss Wolfson at length.https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/a8eec7_46a8267a459f48e48d94ad972ddba5dc.pdfScottSincerely,Scott M.

Scott Alexander - Also, here is my critique of the Crescas book. It would not be a critique of Wolfson himself, because my understanding, as I expressed in the article, is that he would’ve changed his mind about physics and cosmology after the full force of the new physics became clear. It also can’t gainsay the fact that Wolfson has provided you the indispensable explanation of medieval philosophy, and particularly Jewish medieval philosophy, which would otherwise have been unobtainable but for his indefatigable labors.https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/a8eec7_251d841c758f4d24a25f1ba1946a9cb6.pdfSincerely,Scott M.
