  Avicebron (Catholic Encyclopedia) - BibleWiki
Avicebron was a Jewish religious poet, moralist, and philosopher.
Avicebron's philosophy united the traditional neo-Platonic doctrines with the religious teaching of the Old Testament.
From the same neo-Platonic sources he derived the doctrine that matter is of itself wholly inert and merely the occasion which is made use of by the Infinite Agent to produce natural effects (Occasionalism).

 AVICEBRON
Avicebron’s religious songs and hymns are remarkable for their mature artistic form and become popular among the Jews, with some even becoming part of synagogue liturgy.
In his philosophical and theological views, Avicebron concentrated on the concept of matter and form and on the conception of a mediator between God and the world.
Avicebron had a greater influence on Christian philosophy and theology in the Middle Ages than on Jewish or Arab philosophy.

 Solomon Ibn Gabirol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He is sometimes referred to as "Avicebron" in the West, a corruption of "Ibn Gabirol" ("Ibngebirol," "Avengebirol," "Avengebrol," "Avencebrol," "Avicebrol," "Avicebron").
Munk concluded that Avicebron or Avencebrol, who had for centuries been believed to be a Christian scholastic philosopher, was identical with the Jew Ibn Gabirol ("Orient, Lit." 1846, No. 46).
The most zealous of the champions of Gabirol's theory of the universality of matter is Duns Scotus, through whose influence the basal thought of the "Fons Vitæ," the materiality of spiritual substances, was perpetuated in Christian philosophy, influencing later philosophers even down to Giordano Bruno, who refers to "the Moor, Avicebron."

 IBN GABIROL - LoveToKnow Article on IBN GABIROL   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
doctrine that there is a material, as well as a formal, element in all created beings was explicitly adopted from Avicebron by Duns Scotus (as against the view of Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas), and perhaps his exaltation of the will above the intellect is due to the same influence.
Avicebron develops his philosophical system throughout quite independently of his religious viewsa practice wholly foreign to Jewish teachers, and one which could not be acceptable to them.
Indeed, this charge is expressly brought against him by Abraham ben David of Toledo (died in 1180).

who refers to "the Moor, Avicebron." The main points at issue between Gabirol and Aquinas were three: (1) the universality of matter, Aquinas holding that spiritual substances are immaterial; (2) the plurality of forms in a physical entity, which Aquinas denied; and (3) the power of activity of physical beings, which Gabirol affirmed.
Aquinas held that Gabirol made the mistake of transferring to real existence the theoretical combination of genus and species, and that he thus came to the erroneous conclusion that in reality all things are constituted of matter and form as genus and species respectively.

 Avicebron
Avicebron was also one of those famous precocious children, who had gained fame already at the age of 16.
Avicebron, at the age of 16, already enjoyed the "wisdom" of 80.
He was forced to make poetic amends; but this was not all, Avicebron then engaged himself within the linguistic skirmishes between the Saragossa and Grenada grammarians.

Quamvis autem simplicitatem causae primae omnes concedant, tamen compositionem formae et materiae quidam nituntur inducere in intelligentias et in animam, cuius positionis auctor videtur fuisse Avicebron, auctor libri fontis vitae.
We should now see how essences exist in separated substances, that is, in the soul, in the intelligences, and in the first cause.
But this view is repugnant to the common teaching of the philosophers, for they call these things substances separated from matter, and they prove them to be wholly without matter.

The philosophical views contained his biblical commentaries are expressed in esoteric and enigmatic style, chiefly because Abraham did not want to reveal his own radical and unorthodox views, but also because he regarded this style as the most proper for expressing esoteric contents.
In cosmology he followed Avicebron and developed a neo-Platonic version of Aristotelianism in which he came close to a naturalistic-monistic conception of the world.
In particular, he accepted the doctrine that a substance, whether spiritual or material, is composed of matter and form.

But this opinion of Avicebron goes further than that of Plato.
And this is the second opinion concerning the action of bodies; of which we have spoken above when treating of the creation (45, 8).
But it must be observed, when Avicebron argues thus, "There is a mover who is not moved, to wit, the first maker of all; therefore, on the other hand, there exists something moved which is purely passive," that this is to be conceded.

 Voluntarism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
The voluntarism/intellectualism distinction was intimately tied to medieval and modern theories of natural law; if we grant that moral or physical laws issue from God, it next needs to answered whether they issue from God's will or God's reason.
In medieval philosophy, voluntarism was championed by Avicebron, Duns Scotus, and William of Ockham.
Intellectualism, on the other hand, is found in Averroes, Aquinas, and Eckhart.

These two ideas, pantheistic emanation and plurality of matters and forms in individual beings, are the guiding principles of Avicebron's metaphysics.
The system is expounded in his monumental work, the Fons Vitae, the only work of his that was known to the thirteenth-century scholastics, and one that exercised a far-reaching influence on many of their speculations.
