Jewish philosophy dependency on Hebrew scripture is explicitly eminent even when it is open to any other aspect outside. According to the philosophy, Torah (their source of knowledge) existed prior to creation of earth just as the Hebrew scripture stipulates. Additionally, they borrowed biblical quotations to support their time and knowledge base to induct a sense of philosophical rigor missing in their explanation. More so, there exists much knowledge about the soul in the Jewish philosophy. Vis-à-vis to that, the idea of the soul is derived from the knowledge that, God created the as a different entity from the body a different aspect of existence altogether from the body. Amongst the very great Jewish philosophies in the history includes, Philo and Maimonides among others. Although it is Philo who established the three basic forms of knowledge namely; the knowledge of opinion, the knowledge of rational, and that of ideas, majority of philosophers who came after Philo, related the three types of knowledge to prophesy. The knowledge comes from God and is identified as to exists through; angels, divine spirit and special voice (Group, 2008). The three ways are directly derived from the Jewish understanding of time and knowledge. What is more, Jewish philosophies identifies knowledge as an eternal aspect that is not limited to time, this explanation paradigm is dependent on Hebrew scripture which identifies human existence as a cycle and an inherited aspect from one generation to the next as knowledge is paramount to human existence. Categories of philosophy that are dependent on the scripture includes but are not limited to; medieval Jewish philosophy, Jewish creationists, Jewish existentialists, philosophy of Judaism and Maimonides.

The dualism principle espouses that material world is divided into two categories, the soul and the physical body. Majority of Persian and Arabic philosophies are premised around this ideology. Through dualism, it is possible to explain the phenomenon of time and space. The space is related to knowledge and how people uses their upper faculty to pass intellectuality from one generation to another. Philosophers have once and again used the indivisibility ability argument to explain the difference between time and space. While the latter is more attached to matter (Material), universality of time makes knowledge passing possible. According to dualism principle, two elements are classified together if they have ability to exist in the same state at the same time. What dualism emphasizes on is the existence of forms. In essentiality, there is a great difference between practicality and the knowledge seeking entirety. For instance, according to Plato, if a person is imprisoned, the coordination between knowledge acquisitions is stopped while time cannot be stopped (Philosophy, n.d.). Therefore, almost every philosophy that relies on Persian and Arabic practices is explained using the duality nature of life. To acquire any philosophical knowledge, the difference between the soul and the body should be established. That knowledge is well explained in the dualism nature of life. It is therefore hard and perhaps impossible to understand the Persian and Arabic philosophies without first having dualism epistemology.
