Comment engendered by listening to "In Our Time" on Maimonides
Maimonides's major work was called "A GUIDE FOR THE PERPLEXED".
This title is shared with one of the works of one of our greatest recent Philosophers.
FOR SOME REASON THAT I WILL NEVER EVER UNDERSTAND - no one seems to talk about this thinker -
the German of Oxford - E. F. SCHUMACHER.

He is very relevant to many issues around now as well.
He was certainly a Green thinker and a spiritual thinker.

I was very pleased that there was recently a Radio 4 program concerning this great philosopher.
I was not entirely happy with the way his views seem to have been portrayed.
Once again I feel drawn towards the conclusion or the sensation of the sheer futility of language.
Why did he bother to write his books?
Can people understand language of any kind?
