Saadya’s important philosophical works belong to two distinct traditions: his main work is written in the style of rationalist theology (kalam), but he is also responsible for composing a commentary in a neo-Pythagorean tone. In addition to contextualizing the two traditions and analyzing their Islamic parallels, the book makes the argument that Saadya consciously constructed a two-layered model of thought and harmonized two styles: one based on sensation and logic, the other on a specific prophetic insight.Études sur le judaïsme médiéval58.Jewish philosophyPhilosophy, MedievalJewish philosophy.Philosophy, Medieval.181/.06Hegedus Gyongyi1663461MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811103003321Saadya Gaon4020792UNINA
