摘要

摘要在这篇文章中，我提出了一个新的解释性解决方案，以解决围绕着迈蒙尼德在《出埃及记》中描述的摩西独特预言的某些困难，特别是它与迈蒙尼德斯在《困惑者指南》中发展的预言的一般描述的关系。我将主张对《指南》的一种解释，即摩西作为先知的优越性得到了捍卫——也就是说，他并不是一个伪装的哲学家——但它仍然主张并重申了他对哲学家的“智力”优越性。为了做到这一点，我将表明，虽然迈蒙尼德在很大程度上依赖于阿尔法拉比对预言的描述（我将主要在他的《幸福的实现》中讨论），正是在与阿尔法拉比及其叙述的重要分歧中，我们能够理解摩西对迈蒙尼德的预言的超特殊性及其对迈蒙伊德圣经解释学和政治哲学的启示。

The Miracle of Mosaic Prophecy in The Guide of the Perplexed

Abstract In this essay, I propose a new interpretative solution to certain difficulties that surround Maimonides’ account of the unique prophecy of Moses described in Exodus, and especially its relation to the general account of prophecy Maimonides develops in The Guide of the Perplexed. I shall argue for an interpretation of the Guide in which Moses’ superiority as a prophet is defended—that is, he does not turn out to be a kind of disguised philosopher—but which nevertheless argues for and reiterates his “intellectual” superiority over the philosophers. To do this, I shall show that while Maimonides relies heavily on Alfarabi’s account of prophecy (which I shall discuss mainly in the context of his The Attainment of Happiness), it is rather in important divergences from Alfarabi and his account that we are able to understand the exceeding specialness of Moses’ prophecy for Maimonides and its implications both for Maimonides’ biblical hermeneutics and political philosophy.
