Guide For the Perplexed - Lecture 58: Part 2 Chapters 7,8,9 and 10a

from Guiding the Perplexed

Rambam describes the difference between the "free" choice of angels and human beings, whether or not the heavenly spheres make sounds as they move, and various astronomical problems medieval philosophers argued about. Rambam importantly explains to us that in matters of speculation, one should not hold the Rabbis of the Talmud to account if they were wrong regarding matters of science.
