	Abraham Ibn Daud (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Ibn Daud thus reveals himself to be a staunch advocate of the study of philosophy and the use of reason to achieve the correct interpretation of problematical biblical passages.
		Ibn Daud infers the existence of something like the soul from the fact that different natural bodies are characterized by various actions, which can only be explained by positing the existence of an immaterial principle that is added to their corporeality and from which these actions derive.
		Ibn Daud identifies the intelligences, which are also referred to as elevated, simple, separate or incorporeal substances, with the angels in Scripture that are intermediaries between God and man. Indeed, it is precisely their function as secondary causes that turn them into an indispensable element in his thought.

	Abraham ibn Daud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abraham ibn Daud (Hebrew Avraham ben David ha-Levi; Arabic Ibrahim ibn Daud) was a Spanish-Jewish astronomer, historian, and philosopher; born at Toledo, Spain about 1110; died, according to common report, a martyr about 1180.
		Ibn Daud was by no means an original thinker, nor did he produce a new philosophy; but he was the first to introduce that phase of Jewish philosophy which is generally attributed to Maimonides and which differs from former systems of philosophy mainly in its more thorough systematic form derived from Aristotle.
		Ibn Daud insists that, however highly philosophy may be valued, the religion of Judaism is preferable.

		Ibn Daud was the first Jewish philosopher to introduce a strict form of Aristotelianism.
		To this rationalistic view of the Torah, which had been advocated by Saadiah before him, Ibn Daud added the concept of the Islamic Aristotelians that the acquisition of metaphysical knowledge is the real purpose of man; he, therefore, focused on the philosophical interpretation of religious concepts.

	History of Halacha
		Ibn Daud's view which is certainly connected to anti Karaite polemics continues a long trend in Geonic writings; all of them subscribe to the same view of structuring the history of halakhah and perceive the project of writing such a history as a confirmation of the ongoing chain of transmission.
		Unlike ibn Daud's explanation that controversy arises through a crisis in the process of transmission and unlike Maimonides who claimed that controversy begins with the introduction of the human component in the creation of halakhah, both Ritba and Nissim Gerondi describe controversy as rooted in the very structure of revelation.
		Ibn Doubt's retrieval model assumes a corespondense theory of halkhaic truth, Maimonides' accumulative model implies a coherence notion of halakhic truth, and the constitutive model as presented by the Ritba, undermines the very idea of an a-priori critirion for examining such an issue.

		Among the concerns expressed in these texts are: establishing an order of transmission of knowledge; analyzing crises within those complicated chains; understanding and describing the emergence of debates and controversies within the body of halakhic knowledge; establishing relations of authority between different generational layers of the tradition.
		Maimonides departed from the Geonic picture of the history of halakhah and from ibn Daud's formulation.
		The retrieval view of ibn Daud and the accumulative approach of Maimonides imply a different conception of what counts as a true correct halakhic opinion.

		These truths he regarded as fixed and determinate; and philosophy was used as an aid to truth, and as a means of arriving at it.
		The philosophical teachings of Philo and Ibn Gabirol were largely ignored by their fellow Jews; the parallel may be extended by adding that Philo and Gabirol alike exercised a considerable influence in extra-Jewish circles: Philo upon early Christianity, and Ibn Gabirol upon the scholasticism of medieval Christianity.
		Crescas' avowed purpose was to liberate Judaism from what he saw as the bondage of Aristotelianism, which, through Maimonides, influenced by Ibn Sina, and Gersonides (Ralbag), influenced by Ibn Roshd (Averroes) threatened to blur the distinctness of the Jewish faith, reducing the doctrinal contents of Judaism to a surrogate of Aristotelian concepts.
