Philosophy and Food

Córdoba was also home to two well known philosophers, Averroes
(Muslim 1126-1198) and Maimonides(Jewish1135-1204). They each had many areas of interest and study, including the attempt to reconcile religious belief and philosophical reasoning. Both were influenced by Aristotle and thus were largely responsible for reintroducing his ideas into Western thought.
