520 |a The received opinion is that in the Guide for the Perplexed III:34, Maimonides, influenced by Aristotle's seminal discussion, addresses the issue of equity. Some scholars read Maimonides as totally rejecting the Aristotelian endorsement of equity, others as unequivocally accepting it, and still others as accepting it to some degree. The purpose of this article is, first, to argue that in the chapter in question, Maimonides does not address the issue of equity at all, and second, to demonstrate that although Maimonides never articulates an explicit endorsement of equity, examination of his responsa reveals that in decisions on actual cases, he does have recourse to equity where he feels that the circumstances warrant such intervention.Introduction; Chapter 34 in its context; "And you would be introducing an element of variability into your words;" The physician analogy; Damage from applying the same law unvaryingly; Maimonides' silence on equity; Law and law to be applied; The responsum on listening to music; Equity in the responsa; Conclusion.
