	Moshe Taube, Hebrew University of Jerusalem
		The choice of texts and some particularities in the translation, as well as additions not found in the original show that the Jewish translators wanted to present a (non-realistic) progressive and humanist picture of Judaism which they thought would be attractive to their audience.
		In contrast to Tschizhewskij, Stankievic and others who proposed that the translations were made for "internal" or "synagogal" aims (something which the make-up of the corpus absolutely excludes) I maintain that the translations were made for Christians interested in Judaism.
		Hypothetical notions such as 'God's associate" - a clearly absurd notion from a Jewish point of view, which is brought merely as an example of something fictitious (like 'unicorn' in Western tradition) is censored, and so are other examples where God's unity is compared to the oneness and indivisibility of the point.

		Algazel wrote his own Against the Professors, a diatribe called Tahafut al Falasifa, (should be translated as Incompetence of Philosophy rather than the usual title of Incoherence of Philosophers).
		Nothing is logically necessary, as Algazel points out, about such relation, which is the point Hume made about the nature of causation.
		At the core of Algazel’s idea was the notion that if you drink because you are thirsty, thirst should not be seen as a direct cause.

		He writes, “they have abandoned all the religious duties of Islam imposes on its followers.” He thinks that the kind of reasoning used by philosophers would never result in the proof of the existence of God.
		Al-Ghazzali (Algazel, 1058 – 1111 CE) was an extremely influential orthodox Muslim thinker who rebuffed many of the claims of the ‘philosphers’ who claimed they could proof God by reason alone.

		Similarly he acquired some knowledge of traditional Islamic theology and philosophy, apparently from their more popular manifestations among the various schools or sects of Majorcan Islam, and from versions (perhaps excerpted) of the works of great Arab authorities such as Algazel.
		Dominique Urvoy has noted, however, that it is unlikely that Llull would have found any Islamic teachers capable of expounding Arab philosophy to him in a very sophisticated way.
		In 1274, Llull received an intellectual 'revelation' on Mount Randa near Palma, which effected the transformation of his nascent doctrine of Divine Dignities or attributes of the Godhead into a global meta- physical system.

	Islamic philosophy: transmission into Western Europe
		The letter of Manfred to the philosophers of Paris, accompanying translations of 'Aristotle and other philosophers from Greek and Arabic', indicates one route by which these texts may have been transmitted, although the 'large commentaries' on On the Soul, Physics and Metaphysics were already known in Paris and Oxford in the late 1220s.
		The margins of manuscripts of Aristotle's works on natural science from Oxford University in the same period, which are crammed with citations from Averroes' commentaries, also testify to this penetration.
		The Arabic contribution to the Latin rationalist-fideist controversy began with the translation of Algazel's introduction to his double volume Maqasid al-falasifa and Tahafut al-falasifa by Gundissalinus' circle (see al-Ghazali).

		Having studied both Arabic and Western culture as well as French, Spanish, Arabic, and Latin, Eva was able to bring together the tools of several disciplines in her analysis of the work of the Arabic philosopher Algazel (Abu Hamid Ibn Muhammad al-Tusi al-Shafi'i al-Ghazali) and his impact on early Western psychology.
		She then prepared a brief critical edition of the chapter on psychology from Algazel’s Physics, describing for scholars the strengths and weaknesses of Rev. Muckle’s edition of Algazel, the standard edition in use today.

		If you are starting to get the picture, you can probably guess what happened next.
		If not, pay attention to Al-Ghazali (also known as Algazel in European sources).
		Al-Ghazali in a sense took an argument similar to the one David Hume is famous for (that knowledge is sensory) and ran with it, only in another direction.
