This book focuses on Isaac Albalag's perspective on the relationship between religion and philosophy. In Sefer Tiqqun ha-De?ot, a Hebrew translation with a commentary of al-Gazali's Arabic philosophical encyclopedia Maqa?id al-Falasifah, 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 Maqa?id, 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.
