This article focuses on one of the central issues in Moses Maimonides’ Jewish philosophy: the quest for the rationale of the commandments. Maimonides regards this quest as religiously obligatory. However, on two occasions he points to diverging scriptural evidence to underline his claim. By juxtaposing the two different scriptural proofs adduced by Maimonides, his use of hermeneutics in the service of philosophy is exposed in the inner precincts of Judaism: in regard to Judaism’s particularistic law. In terms of spiritual leadership, Maimonides’ dual scriptural approach enables him to bring his philosophical message home to different audiences.

本文重点讨论摩西·迈蒙尼德斯（Moses Maimonides）的犹太哲学中的核心问题之一：对诫命基本原理的追求。迈蒙尼德斯（Masmonides）认为这一追求是宗教上的义务。但是，他有两次指出不同的圣经证据来强调他的主张。通过并列迈蒙尼德斯提出的两种不同的经文证据，他在诠释学中为哲学服务的使用在犹太教的内在领域中得到了体现：关于犹太教的特殊法则。在精神领导方面，迈蒙尼德的双重圣经方法使他能够将自己的哲学信息带给不同的听众。
