Abstract

Weiss addresses questions regarding disinterested love and the ineffability of God raised by Davison and Rizvi, in their respective discussions. Through an analysis of the exposition of Job in Guide of the Perplexed, Weiss examines Maimonides’ interpretation of Job’s intellectual journey which challenges him to recognize the ineffability of God, as well as the incomprehensibility of divine providence, and promotes his disinterested righteousness that transcends the fear of retribution and the desire for reward.
