From his early youth, Maimonides had for aim to apply rationality using the Aristetelian Logic. He brings the alegoric interpretation to the Bible text when it is in conflict with the Reason; he systematizes the juridical-religious chaotic casuistric of the whole of the traditional Oral Law and set up 13 dogmas for the Jewish religion. He separates off people's beliefs from the speculation of the intelectual. There is a duality between the religious judge and the rationalist thinker, perhaps sins his childhood problems.
