  Judah’s subsequent discussion of love, however, departs significantly from either Crescas or other Renaissance thinkers.  This is especially the case when it comes to Judah’s refusal to abnegate sensual love. Rather, he celebrates such love as the gateway to cosmic or spiritual love.   Sensual love, for him, becomes that which orientates the individual towards the Divine.  Unlike Crescas, however, Judah does not reject the Maimonidean concept of God as divine intellect. Furthermore, Judah’s discussion finds no homolog in the thought of Crescas or even Maimonides when it comes to the concept of God’s beauty.
