Saadia’s proofs of creation in the Book of Beliefs and Opinions (933) include arguments that Davidson traced to Philoponus through Arabic intermediaries; the path is disputed.

第一部系统的犹太哲学著作:感觉、理性、推理和传统共同确证创造、上帝的唯一性和人的自由。
立场
Saadia wrote the first systematic work of Jewish philosophy, in Arabic and in the manner of the Muslim kalam, above all of the Mutazilites. He named four sources of knowledge: sense perception, the self-evident truths of reason, necessary inference and reliable tradition, chiefly revelation. Reason and revelation teach the same truths; revelation gives them quickly and surely to all. Against the Aristotelian doctrine of an eternal world he offered four proofs that the world was created from nothing, and he defended God’s unity and human free will. He also fought the Karaites, who rejected rabbinic tradition. Judah Halevi and Maimonides built on or argued with his work.
生平与背景
Saadia ben Joseph was born in 882 in the Fayyum region of Egypt. He left for Palestine and then Babylonia (Iraq), where in 921–922 he led the Babylonian side in a dispute over the Jewish calendar. In 928 the exilarch made him gaon (head) of the academy of Sura; after a bitter quarrel between them he was deposed for some years, then reinstated. He died in Baghdad in 942.
