	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Bahya ibn Paquda
		Bahya was thoroughly familiar with the Jewish rabbinic literature, as well as the philosophical and scientific Arabic, Greek and Roman literature, quoting frequently from the works of non-Jewish moral philosophers in his work.
		Bahya says in the introduction to Duties of the Heart that he wished to fill a great need in Jewish literature; he felt that neither the rabbis of the Talmud nor subsequent rabbis adequately brought all the ethical teachings of Judaism into a coherent system.
		Bahya felt that many Jews paid attention only to the outward observance of Jewish law, "the duties to be performed by the parts of the body" ("Hovot ha-evarim"), without regard to the inner ideas and sentiments that should be embodied in this way of life, "the duties of the heart" ("Hovot ha-lev").

	Bahya ibn Paquda
		Ibn Paquda was a rabbi and philosopher who lived at Saragossa, Spain, in the first half of the eleventh century.
		Bahya therefore felt impelled to make an attempt to present the Jewish faith as being essentially a great spiritual truth founded on Reason, Revelation (the written Law), and Tradition, all stress being at the same time laid on the willingness and the joyful readiness of the God-loving heart to perform life's duties.
		From the style of his writings and the frequent and apt illustrations he uses, it appears more than probable that Bahya was a preacher of rich experience; while his great personality-a soul full of the utmost piety coupled with touching humility and a spirit of tolerance-shines through every line.

	Duties of the Heart
		Rabbi Bahya ibn Paquda's classic work is his 'Hovot ha-Levavot' ('Duties of the Heart'); it is widely considered to be an important work of rabbinic Jewish philosophy.
		Bahya here presents a beautiful and interesting system of natural philosophy, the teleological character of which indicates its provenience from the Brothers of Purity, as well as from Galen, whom he mentions in particular.
		Bahya also composed a number of liturgical poems, full of great religious fervor, part of which have found a place in the Roman Mahzor, while some are still in manuscript in the Bodleian Library, Oxford.

	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.

	Samuel Ibn Tibbon (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Ibn Tibbon translated the commentary proper together with Maimonides' introduction, entitled “Eight Chapters.” The preface in particular, consisting of an introduction to and adaptation of Aristotelian ethics, would become the standard introduction to philosophical ethics in Hebrew throughout the later Middle Ages.
		Ibn Tibbon discusses the problems and difficulties of translation in several texts: The preface to the translation of the Guide, the prologue to his “Letter on Providence,” the preface to the glossary and the glossary itself, the preface to Meteorology, and the commentary on Ecclesiastes.

	Samuel Ibn Tibbon
		Ibn Tibbon's preface to the translation includes the beginnings of a lexicon, perhaps part of a larger project, which was never completed or was incorporated into his larger glossary (to be discussed below).
		Ibn Tibbon's understanding of Ecclesiastes as a whole is as follows: Solomon wrote the book in his youth in order to refute ancient skeptics who denied the possibility of immortality (“conjunction with the active intellect”).
		Ibn Tibbon begins this work with a cosmological question—why is the earth not covered entirely by water—and then proceeds to answer this and related questions in relation to verses from Genesis, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Job, and especially the Book of Psalms.

		The Role of Reason in Bahya and Maimonides.(Bahya ibn Paquda)(Critical Essay)
		Bahya ibn Paquda, in his work The Duties of the Heart, and Maimonides, barely a century later, in his Guide of the Perplexed, proclaim that the highest worship is the intellectual comprehension of God.
		Only by means of this knowledge can man serve Him "with all his heart and with all his soul." These works were expressly written for the perplexed of their generation, and although both grant a superior status to intellect, they differ in the intents and purposes each assigns to reason.

		The Jewish poet-philosopher Solomon Ibn Gabirol is also known as Avicebron.
		As among the Arabs, Ibn Sina and Ibn Roshd leaned more and more on Aristotle, so among the Jews did Abraham ibn Daud and Maimonides.
		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.
