| Summary: | This article presents a brief survey of Jewish Mu‘tazilism, from its beginnings in the late eighth or early ninth century through the seventeenth century. Short descriptions of known Jewish Mu‘tazilî authors and their works are provided. We can divide the development of Jewish Mu‘tazilism into three periods: 1) the early period characterized by eclecticism and doctrinal variety; 2) the “classic” period in which the Basran Bahshamiyya school was adopted by both Rabbanites and Karaites; 3) the late period in which epitomes of Mu‘tazilî thought were produced. The article concludes with a brief consideration of Mu‘tazilism in al-Andalus |
