The Eight Chapters of Maimonides on Ethics - Shemonah Perakim: A Psychological And Ethical Treatise

Product Information

I had the good fortune to see it at New York City’s Village East cinema, a converted 1920s Yiddish theater in lower Manhattan. The Hateful Eight’s roadshow featured an overture of Ennio Morricone’s lush score and an entr’acte after the intermission. The filmmakers certainly did not have a great deal of freedom in their general approach to the subjects, owing to the limited on-screen time at their disposal. Only Jasmina Beširović, in the first chapter, opts for an observational approach, while the others plumped for portrait interviews with the bonus of off-screen narration by the protagonists. However, some opportunities for additional polish and diversity were seized, whether in the use of Zvjezdan Ružić’s original score or music coming from other sources, the photographic material that appears in some of the stories, or even a certain reflexive lyricism. Other scenes feature quite a moody atmosphere. The use of the same cinematographer ( Raul Brzić) for all of the chapters contributes to a better consistency of the film as a whole, while the editing by Marta Bregeš and Maja Predrijevac is smooth enough to make Eight Chapters slightly better than the simple sum of its individual parts.

The grammar and word usage it clear and concise, but some of the knowledge about crafting and making things is a bit technical, but the author tries to explain it in his notes, which is appreciated. I have learned a lot about the tools which only adds another facet to an interesting story.Mishnah sive totius Hebraeorum juris, rituum, antiquitatum, ac legum oralium systema cum Maimonidis et Bartenorae commentariis integris.

Rosin, Ethik, p. 33, describes the Peraḳim in general as an “Abriss der allgemeinen Ethik,” and Chapters I and II as “die psychologische Grundlage der Ethik im Allgemeinen und Besonderen.” Wolff, Acht Capitel, Introd., p. xii, calls them a “System der Ethik.” I was expecting good things from Eight Dates, and boy did it deliver. The book is divided into eight sections, one for each date. The dates cover eight of the most meaningful, important, and, often, contentious topics that couples deal with: trust and commitment, conflict, sex, money, family, fun and adventure, growth and spirituality, and dreams. Before the dates are introduced, an intro gives characteristics of successful marriages, as well as advice on how to have an intimate conversation and how to listen.

Synopsis The Princess to Eight Uncles (Lily and Mr. Crawford)

The most important of his works which have had a profound influence upon Judaism are his Commentary on the Mishnah ( פירוש המשנה‎), the Mishneh Torah ( משנה תורה‎) or Yad ha-Ḥazaḳah ( יד החזקה‎), and the Guide for the Perplexed ( מורה נבוכים‎). Arabic with Latin translation in Porta Mosis. Arabic with Hebrew translation, J. Holzer, Zur Geschichte der Dogmenlehre in der jüd. Religionsphilosophie des Mittelalters. Mose Maimuni’s Einleitung zu Chelek (Berlin, 1901); English translation by J. Abelson, JQR, vol. XXIX, p. 28 ff. The Arabic text with notes has been recently edited by I. Friedlaender in Selections from the Arabic Writings of Maimonides, pp. 1–39. There is SO MUCH interesting info in this book! I know not everyone is going to froth at the mouth over learning how couples interact with each other, but I seriously couldn’t get enough. It’s all so interesting to me, discovering what is “normal” and what actually creates a lasting connection, especially when it doesn’t necessarily match up with what I expected. Some of my favorite insights: I think I've said enough, and you know what? Why should I be the only one to suffer through this? Why not give it a gander?

For the rendering into Hebrew of the Commentary on Abot and its introduction commonly called שמונה פרקים‎ (The Eight ​Chapters), Samuel ibn Tibbon, who was at work on the translation of the Moreh, was eminently fitted. The Shemonah Peraḳim have always been widely read among the Jews and students of the philosophy of Maimonides on account of their simplicity of style and subject matter, and no less on account of their accessibility, being found in all editions of the Mishnah and Talmud [20] that contain Maimonides' commentary, in a number of Maḥzorim, [21] especially of the Roman and Greek ritual, and also in various separate editions. [22] Their popularity is evidenced by the fact that they have been translated into Latin, French, Dutch, English, and many times into German. [23] Ar. צדר אבות‎. See p. 3, n. 4, on the Arabic title of the Com. on the Mishneh ( סראג̇‎), for which M. is probably also not responsible. The rational part is the power peculiar to man by which he understands, thinks, acquires knowledge, and discriminates between proper and improper actions. This manifold activity of the rational part is both practical and speculative. The practical activities are partly mechanical ( מלאכת מחשבת‎) and partly intellectual. The speculative activities are the powers of man by which he knows things which, by their nature, are not ​subject to change. These are called the sciences. The mechanical power is that by which man learns the arts, as that of architecture, agriculture, medicine, or navigation. The intellectual power is that by which man reflects upon the possibility or manner of doing an intended action. The soul, which is a unit, but which has many powers or parts, bears the same relation to the intellect ( השכל‎) as matter does to form. Ali Takata, a half-Japanese, half-white woman who lives in Texas, initially sent her children to the “good,” mostly white school. She liked it at first and made friends there. However, she felt awkward because there were few POC. She felt there was too much “helicoptering” and actions she saw as expressions of white privilege. She took her children out of the school and put them in a more integrated school. She says it “has been an eye-opening experience for [her children].” They learned more about the real world where not everyone is rich. Other parents have also found that their children can get a good education in a school that isn’t considered “good.” Chapter 8The concept seems bulletproof in its simplicity, but the question is whether it is really that robust, since there is no room for in-depth development of the individual stories, so the film only superficially scratches the surface of the topics it broaches. Also, it is not clear if certain things, like the fact that none of the protagonists are ever seen in the company of their immediate family members, are by design or are just coincidence. That angle disappears as the protagonists get older and more individualistic in the subsequent chapters. We get to see Tina preparing for the entrance exam for Photography Studies in Dalija Dozet’s third chapter. Chapter four (directed by Anja Koprivšek) follows Ana Marija, who wants to prove herself as an actress. The following segment (helmed by Petar Vukičević) is centred on Dunja, who is struggling with depression. In Judita Gamulin’s chapter six, we get to see Nela, an accomplished career woman and author, as she leads a support group for young mothers. The retired Mirjana is the protagonist of Katarina Lukec’s seventh section, while the film is rounded off by Tiha K Gudac’s chapter eight, in which we follow elderly painter Ljerka. On the appropriateness of מורה נבוכים‎ as a translation of the Arabic title Dalālat al Hāʾirīn ( דלאלה̈ אלחאירין‎), see HUb., p. 418. Maimonides himself was of the opinion that הוראת הנבוכים‎ would be preferable. See also Kaufmann, Attrib., p. 363, and n. 1; and especially Munk, Guide, Note sur le Titre de cet Ouvrage, at beginning of Vol. I; and II, pp. 379–380. The date of composition of the Peraḳim cannot be accurately determined. All that can be said is that it was written sometime between 1158 and 1165, along with the rest of the commentary on the Mishnah, which was made public in 1168. [44] As to the translation, the only source of information regarding its date is the manuscript Parma R. 438⁶, which in a note states that the Commentary on Abot was translated by Samuel ibn Tibbon in Tebet 963, which is the year 1202. [45] On the one hand, they are cool credits! And it’s great to get more opportunities to listen to Morricone’s music; however, there is a dark, final punchline: Netflix automatically jumps away from closing credits and skips the opening unless you tell it not to. So these added minutes, if you want to experience them, don’t even occur naturally.
