When Yosef ben Yehuda asked Maimonides which of these two disciplines he should study, Maimonides told him to pursue both. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name these two disciplines. Averroës’ (“uh-VAIR-oh-eez’s”) doctrine of “double truth” holds that contradictory ideas from these two disciplines can be true simultaneously.
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.
ANSWER: Aristotle [or Aristotélēs]
[10m] Ibn Sina claimed he read this book by Aristotle forty times, but only understood it after reading al-Fārābī’s commentary. This book studies “being qua being” and is titled for the discipline of “first philosophy.”
ANSWER: Metaphysics [or Tōn meta ta physika; or Ta meta ta physika; or Metaphysica]
