《中世纪犹太哲学》一书，涉及这一时期主要的犹太教思想家，包括他们思想中哲学和非哲学的内容、犹太教与非犹太教哲学家的相互影响等内容，是对犹太思想史上这一最为生机勃勃的时期所作的综合和介绍。中世纪犹太哲学，作为希腊哲学从伊斯兰世界转入基督教欧洲的桥梁，在哲学史上有着非常重要的地位。但在我国学界，尚无人作系统深入的研究。该书以最新学术成果为基础，对中世纪犹太教哲学，以及它与伊斯兰教、基督教的哲学思想的影响和对话，作了深入浅出的论述。不论对于有志于此的青年学子，还是相关专业的学者，都是一本有益的学术著作。

“剑桥哲学研究指针”是英国剑桥大学出版社20世纪90年代刊行的一套学术参考书，如原书编者所说的：“这套书的目的之一，乃是针对艰深而富有挑战性的哲学家著作，帮助读者打消畏难心理。”对于哲学有兴趣的非专业读者和学生，由此可获得最为权威、便利的有效指引；专家和深入研究者则由此可概览各种批判性诠释的最新进展。三联书店以英文原版形式引进出版“剑桥哲学研究指针”，旨在便利国内读者和研究者，期望这套研究指南有助于我国读书界把握学术潮流，拓宽思想疆域，本书是“剑桥哲学研究指针”中的一册。
