Sobre angeología y profecía en Maimónides

Abstract

The image of the angel in the various forms which appears both in the Holy Bible and in Philosophiy is exactly a reality that draws the limits of human understanding. At the same time, it naturally transfixes such understanding, carrying the latter to its climax in intuition and prophetic knowledge. Maimonides' vision of angelic reality reaches these very same achievemants in gnoseology but furthermore it reaches new dimensions. The latter had already been glimpsed at in the presocratic world in relation to metaphysics and the sense of the living.
