Abstract:
In this passage, we see Maimonides wrestling with a certain tension in his life: on the one hand, a devotion to his time-consuming obligations as a physician, to healing the sick among the wealthy and the poor; on the other hand, his personal desire for the opportunity to engage in the study of Torah and other religious and philosophical texts. He is torn between two competing values: the life of practical activity and the life of contemplation.
