Abstract: In his Sefer tikun ha-de‘ot, the thirteenth-century Jewish philosopher Isaac Albalag advocates the double truth doctrine, according to which the truth of philosophy and the truth of religion are contradictory yet simultaneously true. To support this doctrine, Albalag offers an unusual conception of prophecy that links prophets to a suprarational mode of apprehension and a domain of reality that contradicts demonstrative truth. Both doctrines clash with the Tikun’s visible Aristotelianism. In this paper, I argue that the double truth doctrine is not an actual dogma, but rather, serves a mere rhetorical-practical purpose. I analyze Albalag’s skeptical critiques of the limitation of the human intellect, showing how these eventually lead to the conclusion that the state of prophecy that lies at the heart of the double truth doctrine is unachievable.

Abstract: In order to understand the relationship between philosophy and religion, one of the major questions that must be explored is the relation between natural law and prophetic law. One of the main problems with modern research on this topic in the field of Jewish studies is that debate is relegated to the interpretation of only a few thinkers whose ideas are presumed to represent Judaism. The aim of this article is to begin remedying this issue by analyzing the relation between the Law of Moses and natural law as presented by four Jewish Averroists: Rabbis Isaac Albalag, Isaac Pulgar, Josef Ibn Kaspi, and Levi ben Abraham.
