dc.descriptionpresented through the metaphor of the Sultan’s palace.10 This book will focus on where Gersonides differs from Maimonides on ethics. Gersonides continues these elements and the focus on the mean as the basis for ethics, but also adds two new categories of individualistic virtues, virtues of self-preservation and virtues of altruism, which transcend the political nature of moral virtues. The virtues of self-preservation arise as a response to “luck” as an unavoidable feature affecting everything in nature. For Maimonides, the ability to avoid the effects of luck is tied to one’s intellectual perfection. He says that “providence watches over an individual endowed with perfect apprehension.”1en_US
