Medieval dialogue imagined philosophers and Christians as united in a common moral fight

Evidence

“What does a thing’s name matter, so long as the thing itself stays the same, and neither the happiness nor the aim in living justly differs between philosophers and Christians? We are an example. You and I set out to live just lives here of the sort for which we shall be glorified there, and we fight against the vices here” (n3). — Gil Anidjar, The Jew, the Arab, 233
