About this ebook

A concise introductory guide. How can rigorous inquiry and interpretation answer to one another? This original English guide reads Ibn Rushd as an Andalusian jurist and philosopher, not a secular legend or a mere commentator. It explains demonstration, the legal argument of the Decisive Treatise, his reply to al-Ghazali, the hierarchy of audiences, and the varied Hebrew and Latin reception. Eighteen chapters, a critical introduction, glossary, annotated sources, and an invented library case make the debate accessible without hiding disputed points. Not a work by Ibn Rushd.
