Discover the bridge between the Islamic Golden Age and the European Renaissance. Ibn Rushd (Averroes): Reason, Faith, and the Perennial Philosophy explores the synthesis of Greek logic and Islamic revelation. A must-read for anyone interested in the universal truths that unite the East and the West. This book is a clear and compelling guide to one of the most influential thinkers of the mediaeval world.
Ibn Rushd stands at the crossroads of civilisations: a Muslim jurist deeply rooted in Islamic law, a philosopher devoted to Aristotle, and a thinker whose works shaped Jewish and Christian scholastic traditions. His intellectual project was bold yet simple: to demonstrate that truth is one—and that reason and revelation, properly understood, cannot contradict each other.
This book traces his life in Al-Andalus, his major philosophical doctrines, and his enduring legacy. It examines:
-
-
- The intellectual encounter between Greek philosophy and Islamic thought
- Ibn Rushd’s method as a commentator and teacher
- His critique of theological and philosophical rivals
- His vision of knowledge as a shared human enterprise
- His relevance to contemporary debates on science, religion, and pluralism
-
Written in an accessible style, this work invites readers into the art of thinking itself—an art Ibn Rushd practised with rigour, humility, and courage.
