In "Averroes: The Philosopher of Two Truths," Dr. Ahmed J. Ben Sala embarks on a riveting exploration of the life and legacy of one of history's most profound thinkers. This insightful volume delves deep into Averroes' groundbreaking attempts to reconcile the realms of faith and reason, casting light on his enduring influence across both the Islamic and Western intellectual traditions. Averroes, also known as Ibn Rushd, emerged from the vibrant culture of 12th-century Al-Andalus, where his philosophical endeavors flourished amidst the golden age of Islamic scholarship. Yet, his impact was not confined to the Islamic world alone; his meticulous commentaries on Aristotle reinvigorated European thought, paving the way for the Renaissance and shaping the trajectory of modern philosophy. Dr. Ben Sala guides readers through Averroes' intellectual journey, highlighting his bold assertion that religion and philosophy, rather than being opposing forces, are complementary pathways to understanding the truth. Averroes' conviction that the pursuit of knowledge underpins both the divine and the rational offers a timeless message for bridging cultural and ideological divides. "Averroes: The Philosopher of Two Truths" is more than just a biography; it is a testament to the power of ideas to transcend centuries and civilizations. Dr. Ben Sala's engaging narrative not only honors Averroes' monumental contributions but also invites us to reflect on the role of intellectual courage in fostering a more enlightened and cohesive world. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of philosophy, religion, and history, providing a compelling case for the relevance of Averroes' teachings in today's globalized society.

The Decisive Treatise is perhaps the most controversial work of Averroes (Ibn Rushd, 1126-1198) and belongs to a trilogy which boldly represent the philosophical contribution to Islamic theology of this famous Andalusian commentator on Aristotle. The Decisive Treatise is a fatwa (a legal opinion) that the judge, Averroes, promulgated for his fellow Malikite jurists in order to demonstrate that the study of philosophy is not only licit from the point of view of religious law, but even mandatory for the skilled people. However, many subjects are dealt with in this comparatively short book: An epistemology aimed to show that philosophical truth and religious truth are not in contradiction; a sociology of knowledge pointing out that humans are classified in three classes (philosophers, theologians, common folk); a Qur'anic hermeneutics suggesting how to approach philosophically the Holy Book in agreement with religious requirements and linguistic rules.

In this treatise Ibn Rushd (Averroes) sets out to show that the Scriptural Law (shar') of Islam does not altogether prohibit the study of philosophy by Muslims, but, on the contrary, makes it a duty for a certain class of people, those with the capacity for "demonstrative" or scientific reasoning. Apparent conflicts between the teachings of Scripture and philosophy can be reconciled by allegorical interpretations of Scripture, though such interpretations should not be taught to the common people. Ibn Rushd's contribution to what was clearly a lively debate in Almovarid Andalusia is here accompanied by extracts from two other relevant works, his Damima and Kitab al-Kashf 'an Manahij al-Adilla, and all are covered by a full introduction and notes.

This book examines the contrasting interpretations of Islam and the Qur’an by Averroes and Al-Ghazali, as a way of helping us untangle current impasses affecting each Abrahamic faith. This has traditionally been portrayed as a battle between philosophy and theology, but the book shows that Averroes was rather more religious and Al-Ghazali more philosophical than they are usually portrayed. The book traces the interaction between two Muslim thinkers, showing how each is convinced of the existence of a Book in which God is revealed to rational beings, to whom He has given commandments, as well as of the excellence of Islamic society. Yet they differ regarding the proper way to interpret the sacred Book. From this point of view, their discussion does not address the contrast between philosophy and religion, or that between reason and revelation that is so characteristic of the Middle Ages, but rather explores differences at the heart of philosophical discussion in our day: is there a level of discourse which will facilitate mutual comprehension among persons, allowing them to engage in debate? This interpretation of sacred texts illustrates the ways religious practice can shape believers’ readings of their sacred texts, and how philosophical interpretations can be modified by religious practice. Moreover, since this sort of inquiry characterizes each Abrahamic tradition, this study can be expected to enhance interfaith conversation and explore religious ways to enhance tolerance between other believers.

First published in 1988. Two Andalusian Philosophers provides a short but comprehensive introduction to the central concerns of Islamic philosophy. The Story of Hayy ibn Yaqzan by Ibn Tufayl and The Definitive Statement by ibn Rushd represent the last, great flourish of Islamic philosophy in twelfth century Andalusia. From very different perspectives, they both deal with the central issue of Islamic philosophy - its relationship with shari'a law.
