The Guide for the Perplexed

The Guide for the Perplexed (Hebrew: מורה נבוכים, Moreh Nevukhim; Arabic: دلالة الحائرين, dalālat al-ḥā’irīn, דלאל̈ה אלחאירין) is one of the three major works of Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon, primarily known either as Maimonides, in the West, or by the acronym RAMBAM (Hebrew: רמב"ם‎‎ – for "Rabbeynu Mosheh Ben Maimon", "Our Rabbi Moses Son of Maimon"), by the Jewish People. It was written in Judeo-Arabic in the form of a three part letter to his student, Rabbi Joseph ben Judah of Ceuta, the son of Rabbi Judah, and is the main source of the Rambam's philosophical views, as opposed to his opinions on Jewish law. It is interesting to note, however, that a small minority believe the Guide for the Perplexed to have been written by an annonymous heretic and not the Ramabam, most notably amongst these
