Hasdai Crescas and the Question of Faith
Target Character, a rabbi and philosopher of considerable renown among his/her own people and no small notoriety among ours, seeks an audience at our Court Title. he/she hopes to argue before us that reason and revelation need not stand at odds, that the philosophers our own scholars so admire were never as friendly to Christian doctrine as they pretend, and that the disputations regularly pressed upon his/her people rest on borrowed Aristotelian logic ill-suited to questions of faith in the first place. Whatever our Clergy make of the errand, and they make a great deal of it, the learning of Target Character is real, and his/her arguments are said to be uncomfortably difficult to answer.

historical_info = d009_convivencia.3.historical_info Hasdai Crescas was a leading rabbi and philosopher of Aragonese Jewry, based mostly in Barcelona and Zaragoza. His major work, Or Adonai (Light of the Lord), was a sustained critique of Aristotelian philosophy's dominance over Jewish theology, arguing that faith and divine will could not be fully subordinated to Aristotelian logic. He lived through the devastating 1391 pogroms, in which his own son was among those killed, and much of his later writing responds directly to that catastrophe.
