Averroës

Altogether there are some thirty-three works of Averroës on philosophy and science.

He was the teacher of Averroës, who always speaks of him with great respect.

Averroës was the last great Muslim thinker, summing up and carrying to its conclusions the thought of four hundred years.

With the death of Averroës the last hope of a beneficent Muslim civilization came to an end.

But though Islam rejected its philosopher, Averroës's work was by no means without its effect.
