Маймонид върху Божието предзнание и свободата на човешката воля
Maimonides on God’s Foreknowledge and the Freedom of the Human Will

Summary/Abstract: The present study will very briefly contextualize the problem of human free will and Divine providence within Jewish philosophy and will present Maimonides‘ central solution, explicating the specifics of his view, which, being part of the coherent Jewish tradition of thought, can generally be defined as „standard“, but also has an additional argumentative element. To date, this specific argument has given rise to a debate among scholars as to whether it is sufficient and whether Maimonides‘ decision remains unclear. In this regard, we propose a possible interpretation that reveals the argument as clear and sufficient if examined in the context of the overall teaching of the medieval thinker.
