 Levi ben Gershom  (1288–1344; “Gersonides”) was also a keen reader of Maimonides and Averroes, but tried to reach his own view on the most debated questions, after reviewing the arguments on all sides; and, in his masterpiece, The Wars of the Lord, he also explains how his conclusions, based on argument, do in fact accord with the Torah. His views on divine prescience  (§3.2)  and the immortality of the soul  (§3.3)  are particularly striking examples of his wish to follow a philosophical position through to its ultimate consequences.
