His ethical classic 'Mesillat Yesharim' (The Path of the Just) became one of the most widely studied works of Jewish moral instruction, and his treatises on logic and rhetoric renewed Hebrew literary style. His Jewish identity is central: he was a rabbinic scholar working within the Jewish mystical and ethical tradition.
