Question

What is the significance of Rambam to philosophy?

Answer 1

I must confess I know nothing of Jewish history beyond what Christians normally learn. So I don't have the slightest idea what this web site is saying in Hebrew and Yiddish.

But Rambam (Maimonides) must have been a pretty impressive person. One of his books that was translated in the early 1900s had an influence on almost every Jewish and Christian scholar who came after him, including Thomas Aquinas.
