The Concept of Double Truth in Medieval Jewish and Arabic Thinking
Fischerová, Ester ; Válová, Dita (advisor) ; Žonca, Milan (referee)
This thesis deals with the double truth concept in Maimonides and Averroes, particularly in The Guide for the Perplexed and in The Decisive Treatise. At first the thesis will try to determine the terminological and methodological frame of this topic and to deal with the commentary tradition regarding this topic. While doing this, it will deal with the use of the term "truth" in Aristotle and in The Scripture and it will also ask what sentences can or cannot be deemed true or false according to Aristotelian logic. The thesis will further try to sketch the outlines of different aspects and types of double truth concept, which we can find in the authors of the primary literature. In its second part, the thesis deals with the nature of the primary literature and then with the relevant text passages, which serve to demonstrate the previously outlined double truth concept
