It would be good to have a thread for each of the major scholastics. The number of works on each and in each school will easily get lost in an "Aristotelian" thread. There are simply a lot of resources for each major school of scholasticism.

 
Although he's not strictly a Scholastic, should I make a resource thread for Maimonides?

If we are to have a resource thread for the major Scholastics, we may need a philosophy resource subforum, lest half the first page of philosophy forum be pinned resource threads.

One on Maimonides sounds good to me.

Seems fine to me.

I know this (and more fool him for the Paley enthusiasm).
 

Oh, I see. I read it in Spanish also, but then didn't correct myself because I've never had occasion to write out the word que. Is that how it's spelled?

It is precisely “values” that are the powerless and threadbare mask of the objectification of beings, an objectification that has become flat and devoid of background. No one dies for mere values.

Does the equivalent Judaic movement have its own name? I've seen Jewish philosophy used, but that's obviously too broad a label.

From the context I think this question is directed at me even though it's not my post that's quoted. If I've misunderstood, then sorry to interrupt.

Yes, the Spanish word "que" ("what," as in "¿Qué pasa?") is spelled that way (but with a diacritical mark on the e that I didn't previously include and that non-native speakers, at least, often don't bother with online).

"Queue," of course (a homonym of "cue," the word DanielCC wanted), is spelled with two back-to-back ues, and it's undoubtedly where the q came from

No, I meant I've never had occasion to write out queue. You have just now taught me how to spell it.

Ah, I did misunderstand. Well, there you go, then.

No, not really. Colloquially one who sticks strongly to Maimonides is called a Rambamist, but we generally associate the trends in Jewish Philosophy with the general movements it draws from.

Etzelnik,

A Rambam resources thread seems fine. Since only Jeremy can sticky posts in this forum, however, it will have to wait for Jeremy before becoming a sticky.
