Description
About the Book
By focusing on the relationship between religion and philosophy, this book offers an analysis of Isaac Albalag's Sefer Tiqqun ha-Deʿot, proving that its claim about the existence of contradictory truths is a mere rhetorical device serving to separate philosophy and religion.Book Synopsis
This book focuses on Isaac Albalag's perspective on the relationship between religion and philosophy. In Sefer Tiqqun ha-Deʿot, a Hebrew translation with a commentary of al-Ġazālī's Arabic philosophical encyclopedia Maqāṣid al-Falāsifah, Albalag indicates his adherence to what is known in scholarship as the double-truth doctrine. By analysing the Tiqqun against its philosophical background and its critical engagement with the Maqāṣid, this book demonstrates Albalag's unyielding commitment to Aristotelianism, as known to him through Averroes's lens, concluding that his apparent embrace of the double-truth doctrine is merely a strategic tool to carve out a distinct space for philosophy, independent of religious beliefs.Dimensions (Overall): 9.4 Inches (H) x 6.2 Inches (W) x .9 Inches (D)
