Packet C: Bonus 12
When Yosef ben Yehuda asked Maimonides which of these two disciplines he should study, Maimonides told him to pursue both. For 10 points each:

ANSWER: philosophy AND religion [accept in either order; accept falāsafa in place of “philosophy”; accept theology in place of “religion”; reject answers that mention “kalām”]
[10e] Maimonides and Averroës reconciled this philosopher’s theories with Judaism and Islam, respectively. This Greek philosopher theorized the golden mean of virtue in Nicomachean Ethics.
