Review: Averroës' Defense of Philosophy - Averroës (ibn Rushd) remains one of the most important and influential figures in both Islamic and Western philosophy, though his thought was more enduring in the latter. While he marks essentially the end of the philosophical tradition in the Islamic West (philosophy continued in the Islamic East in Persia), his thought and writing on Aristotle would go one to be an important influence on Thomas Aquinas and other medieval scholastic theologians in Christian Europe, and Averroës is even paid homage by the great Italian poet Dante. For Averroës, a devout Muslim, in the wake of the attack leveled against the philosophers by al-Ghazali his goal was to show that philosophy was not the enemy or rival of religion, but rather its partner. In the Decisive Treatise Averroës seeks to demonstrate the compatibility of philosophy with the Islamic faith and even claims that the study of philosophy is commanded by the Qur'an. Dr. Charles Butterworth presents to us an excellent and scholarly translation of Averroës' writings. For anyone interested in the debates between philosophers and the traditional theologians within the Islamic intellectual tradition, as well as more information on one of the figures that shaped Western philosophy, this is an essential book to have. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0842524797 | | Best Sellers Rank | #881,057 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #197 in Medieval Western Philosophy #1,191 in Ancient Greek & Roman Philosophy #1,727 in Religious Philosophy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (21) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.8 x 9 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 9780842524797 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0842524797 | | Item Weight | 15.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 170 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 2002 | | Publisher | Brigham Young University | ## Images ![Decisive Treatise and Epistle Dedicatory (Brigham Young University - Islamic Translation Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71N3cTYMKrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful book, translation, and content *by T***B on January 7, 2020* This is such a high-value production.
