%X Rabbi Joseph ben Shoshan lived in fourteenth-century Toledo. His Hebrew commentary to tractate Avot has rarely been studied, but there is solid evidence for it stemming, at least in part, from oral sermons. This paper identifies the evidence, analyzes it, and focuses specifically on several of his polemics with the ※would-be philosophers§. This term refers to the antinomian neo-Platonists, whose stance threatened not only the leadership and authority of the Jewish community, but its very existence. The article employs a multi-disciplinary interpretation of the text 每linguistic, literary and ideological每 situating it in its historical context. El rabino Yosef ben Shoshan vivi車 en Toledo en el siglo XIV. Su comentario en hebreo sobre el tratado Avot apenas ha sido estudiado. Sin embargo, existen evidencias s車lidas que apuntan a su derivaci車n, al menos parcial, de sermones orales. Este art赤culo identifica y analiza dichas evidencias, centr芍ndose, sobre todo, en su pol谷mica con los ※llamados fil車sofos§. Este t谷rmino alude a los neoplatonistas antinomianos, cuya postura no solo amenazaba el liderazgo y la autoridad de la comunidad jud赤a, sino su propia supervivencia. El presente trabajo se basa en una lectura multidisciplinaria del texto 每ling邦赤stica, literaria e ideol車gica每, insert芍ndolo en su contexto hist車rico.
