This Book Serves As An Introduction To Who Averroes (Ibn Rushd) Was, His Ideas, And The Significance Of His Thoughts For Us In The Modern Era. The Book Assumes That This Muslim Scholar And Thinker Had A Profound Impact, Yet His Ideas Have Rarely Been Thoroughly Studied Or Placed In Their Rightful Position As Those Of One Of The Greatest Thinkers Of The Renaissance And The Most Influential Figure In European Civilization.
Ibn Rushd Represented The Rationalist Current That Opened The Horizon To Modernity—A Horizon That Eventually Shaped Our Contemporary World. Therefore, He Should Be Recognized Among The Pinnacle Of Global Thought At Any Time And In Any Place.
Building On This Premise, This Important Book Revisits Not Only Ibn Rushd’S Philosophy But Also The Impact Of Islamic Culture On European Civilization And The Age Of Enlightenment. The Book Seeks To Present An Intellectual Biography By Examining The Surviving Works Of Ibn Rushd, Collecting Scattered Writings, And Tracing References To Him In The Works Of His Contemporaries And Subsequent Scholars.
While This Information Forms An Intellectual And Philosophical Biography That Cannot Fully Capture The Greatness Of Ibn Rushd, It Provides The Closest Possible Depiction Of Him And His Intellectual Journey.
