Halevi's Criticism of Philosophy

The Khuzari is a book of reputation and proof on behalf of the despised religion. It was written by an Egyptian king who wanted to convert him from Judaism. In it, Halevi argues that what good there is in philosophy derives ultimately from the figures we know from the Old Testament. He also criticizes karaite Jews for rejecting authority of rabbinic texts such as the Mishnah or Talmud.
