Résumé

The Impact of Greek Philosophy on Jewish Mysticism by Oscar Lawson explores the fascinating intersection of two of the most profound intellectual traditions in history. Drawing from a rich historical context, this book delves into how Greek philosophical ideas-particularly those of Plato and Neoplatonism-shaped the mystical practices, cosmologies, and spiritual practices within Jewish thought, from the ancient world to the emergence of Kabbalah.
Through an engaging analysis, Lawson unpacks the journey of Greek philosophical influence on Jewish mysticism, revealing how Jewish mystics, from early figures like Philo of Alexandria to the Kabbalists of medieval Spain and Safed, integrated Greek concepts such as divine emanation, the role of language, and the ascent of the soul. The book explores how these philosophical frameworks transformed Jewish mystical thought, shaping both the intellectual and spiritual practices that continue to influence Jewish spirituality today.
With a scholarly yet accessible approach, Lawson brings to light the cross-pollination between these intellectual giants, providing readers with a deep understanding of how mystical traditions evolved. Perfect for both newcomers and seasoned scholars, The Impact of Greek Philosophy on Jewish Mysticism is a thought-provoking exploration of how two ancient worlds came together to create a legacy that continues to inspire today's spiritual seekers.
