Focusing on the theory of the philosopher-king, the book delves into the influence of Platonic tradition on medieval Jewish political philosophy. It examines how this concept emerged within Jewish thought and its subsequent transmission, adaptation, and integration into Jewish culture. By analyzing the contributions of medieval and Renaissance Jewish thinkers, the work broadens the understanding of Jewish philosophy during this period, contrasting it with contemporary Christian political philosophy rooted in Aristotle.
