اتصال الفلسفة و الدين بين ابن رشد و ابن ميمون

Abstract EN

Philosophy refers to using the reason so as to contemplate on the creation which is a religious duty according to Averroes (1198) provided that the goal be reaching the recognition of the creator.

Meanwhile, Maimonides (1204) confirms the same idea when he says: “The flowing intellect upon us is what bonds us with God”.

Whereupon, Maimonides decides to follow the lead of Averroes and consider the Philosophy-Religion strong connection whereby each one of them completes one another.

However, their admission of Aristotle's methods of religious script's interpretation varies in terms of different matters such as God's knowledge, world's eternity, and the resurrection's manner.

These various ways of admission are discussed between Averroes and Maimonides considering that Maimonides is Averroes' indirect apprentice who studied his works and based his religious philosophy on it.

The purpose behind this study lies in displaying the importance of the Arab philosophic heritage in the orientation of religious studies and the call for coexistence.
