My Moneties and Aristotelian Philosophy

For My Moneties there is no tension between spiritual devotion and devotion to Aristotelian philosophy. This is never more clear than in the Book of Knowledge, which lays down certain principles that serve as a foundation for the legal teachings in the Mishneh Torah. For instance, My Moneties teaches that Aristotle's idea of matter underlying form can be found lurking in the Bible and rabbinic literature. He sees in the law an elaborate and well-designed system for conditioning our souls.
