Notes: Based on the findings of this study, I have concluded that al-Fārābī is a model philosopher for Maimonides. Indeed, no other philosopher has ever embraced al-Fārābī's argument that philosophy and religion are two different devices to reach the same, the one and only truth as much as Maimonides does. Maimonides, using his profound knowledge of the Jewish theology, masterfully applies this model to the Torah, Talmud and other Halakhic works. Thus we would not be exaggerating if we consider the Guide for the Perplexed, the masterpiece and major philosophical work of Maimonides, as "al-Fārābī' for the Perplexed". For it is the Farabian philosophy what guides the Guide in the fields of ontology, epistemology, logic, psychology, politics, philosophy, and ethics.
