Synopsis

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.
