Bookstaber's Book Deals With Soul's Development In Medieval Philosophy THE IDEA OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE SO UL IN MEDIEVAL JEWISH PHI- LOSOPHY. By David P.00kstaber. Maurice Jacobs, Inc., Ph iladelphia. Reviewed by Dr. ALFRED WERNER What is man's soul? What is its genesis, and what is its des- tiny? These questions h a v e been raised by Jewish thinkers ever since the 'story of man's origin came to be written down on parchment: "And God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man be- came a living soul." The author of the present scholarly study, however, is not concerned with t h e se mystical speculations; he approaches h i s subject not as a student of met- aphysics but as a preacher of ethics interest- ed in the Soul Dr. Bookstaber as "a dynamic factor in positive living and thinking." Being a rabbi he . is familiar with the legend according to which the Lord said to Man, when grant- ing him a soul: "The soul I have given to thee is pure; if thou givest it back to Me in the same state, it is good for thee; if not, I will burn it before thee." When he delved into the writ- ings of eight medieval Jewish philosophers, Dr. B o o k staber had this primary object in mind: to find out what these thinkers had to say on the Soul as "an active force within man's life." Hence, this volume is of practical value • in the sense that it tells readers what some of Israel's great sages of the past thought about the im- portance of developing and im- proving one's Soul in order to return it to the Creator in its original puritSi. The thinkers discussed here separately in b r i e f chapters range from Isaac Ben Solomon Israeli, who died in 932 C.E., to Moses Maimonides, who died in 1204, and they included two men who are chiefly known to the interested layman as lyrical poets rather than philosophers — Solomon Ibn G a b i r o 1 and Judah Halevi. All of them were pious Jews, yet they permitted themselves to be influenced by ancient Greek and contempor- ary Arab thinkers, just as their own ideas crept into the writ- ings of various medieval Chris- tians. Their systems differ con- siderably, and so do their state- ments about the nature and function of the human soul. Rabbi Bookstaber emphasizes the agreements rather than the differences of these philosoph- ers. He is pleased to note that they all agree on the thesis that man has the sacred duty to strive fur perfection, that this divine spark which we call Man's soul must be lifted into a higher realm through that creativity which, in the whole Animal Kingdom, is given to Man alone. The same fellow who used to say "What's cooking" when he came home from work, now asks "What's thawing?" . . •••••. ■••■ ..-, . ...... .-..., ..,...., -,. 7,-- ..., .... ,... ..".....- .."
